Compress consecutive Citations

Hi,

I'm using LaTeX to write a report with a lot of references in them.

If I use the command \cite{myref1,myref2,myref3,myref4} it displays as [1,2,3,4]. Is there a way to get it to display as [1-4]? I think I've seen this in papers.

I'm using a custom .bst file which I've attached.

Thank you ...
