The first sentence is correct. But a dash is not needed in the second sentence.

Please check your text or check this site for hyphen use. None of your sentences are correct. We'll be glad to check your corrections.

The first sentence using square brackets is not correct. No brackets or parentheses are needed in that sentence. The second sentence is correct.
