illustrator javascript export jpg spaces replaced by a dash

Question

The code works very well. The only problem is that there is a hyphen instead of a space. For example,my-picture-test.jpg.Is there any way to solve this?  var doc = app.activeDocument;
exportFileToJPEG();
function exportFileToJPEG() {
    var newpath = doc.path + "/" + doc.name.substring(0, doc.name.length - 2 + "jpg");
    var resolution = 300;
    var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsJPEG();
    var type = ExportType.JPEG;
    var fileSpec = new File(newpath);/// + "jpg");
    exportOptions.antiAliasing = true;
    exportOptions.artBoardClipping = true;
    exportOptions.horizontalScale = resolution * 100 / 72;
    exportOptions.verticalScale = resolution * 100 / 72;
    exportOptions.qualitySetting = 90;
    app.activeDocument.exportFile(fileSpec, type, exportOptions);
}

Just go ahead and add in the hypens before saving, then rename the saved JPG back to the original name without spaces.

var doc = app.activeDocument;
exportFileToJPEG();
function exportFileToJPEG() {
  var newName = doc.name.replace(/\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}$/, ".jpg");
  var newNameWithHyphens = newName.replace(/\s/g, "-");
  var fileSpec = new File(doc.path + "/" + newNameWithHyphens);
  var resolution = 300;
  var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsJPEG();
  var type = ExportType.JPEG;
  exportOptions.antiAliasing = true;
  exportOptions.artBoardClipping = true;
  exportOptions.horizontalScale = (resolution * 100) / 72;
  exportOptions.verticalScale = (resolution * 100) / 72;
  exportOptions.qualitySetting = 90;
  app.activeDocument.exportFile(fileSpec, type, exportOptions);
  fileSpec.rename(newName);
}
