python script to remove - and replace with space for name column can i use dfnamestrreplace

Yes, you can use the str.replace() method to replace the "-" character with a space in the "name" column of a pandas dataframe. Here's an example:

import pandas as pd

# create example dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame({'name': ['John-Doe', 'Jane-Smith', 'Bob-Johnson']})

# replace "-" with " " in name column
df['name'] = df['name'].str.replace('-', ' ')

# print updated dataframe
print(df)

Output:

           name
0      John Doe
1    Jane Smith
2  Bob Johnson
