Script Preparation code:

var str = 'aasd-asdasd-fegdfg-werwerwer-dsfsdfsdf-sadfsdfsdf-asd-asdasdasdasd-asdasdasd-dssdfhsd-dsfsdfsd-sdfsdfsdf';
var size = str.length;

Tests:

regex combined
return str.replace(regexCombined, (s) => s === '-' ? ' ' : s.toUpperCase())
double regex
return str.replace(regexDash, ' ').replace(regexFirst, s => s.toUpperCase())
for loop
var result = ''; var i = 0; var char = ''; for (i = 0; i < size; i++) { char = str[i]; if (i === 0) { result += char.toUpperCase(); } else { result += char === '-' ? ' ' : char ; } } return result
