I need to get the name of the page from a url. I did this way:
var filename = window.location.href.substr(window.location.href.lastIndexOf('/')+1)
// -> 'state.aspx'
var statelookup = filename.substr(0, filename.lastIndexOf('.'))
// -> 'state'
Now for e.g, my statelookup has a value like New-York or North-Carolina, how do I replace hyphen with a space in between?

string.replace(/-/g,' ');
Will replace any occurences of - with in the string string.
You would use String's replace method:
statelookup = statelookup.replace(/-/g, ' ');
statelookup = statelookup.replace('-', ' ')
