After your update, this will work:

$str = 'Birthdays=>Birthday||Birthday for Girlfriend|#|Valentines Day=>Valentine Combos||Valentine Roses||Valentines Day - Feb 14th|#|Occasions=>Thinking of you'
$a = strpos($str,'-');
$b = strpos($str, '|', $a);
if ($b) {
    $c = $b - $a;
    echo substr_replace($str, '', $a - 1, $c + 1);
}
else {
    echo strstr($str,' -', true);
}

Output:

Birthdays=>Birthday||Birthday for Girlfriend|#|Valentines Day=>Valentine Combos||Valentine Roses||Valentines Day|#|Occasions=>Thinking of you

This should work for you:

$str = "Birthdays=>Birthday||Birthday for Girlfriend|#|Valentines Day=>Valentine Combos||Valentine Roses||Valentines Day - Feb 14th|#|Occasions=>Thinking of you";
echo $str . "<br />";
$str = preg_replace('/\s-(.*?)\|/', '|', $str);
echo $str . "<br />";

Output:

Birthdays=>Birthday||Birthday for Girlfriend|#|Valentines Day=>Valentine Combos||Valentine Roses||Valentines Day - Feb 14th|#|Occasions=>Thinking of you
Birthdays=>Birthday||Birthday for Girlfriend|#|Valentines Day=>Valentine Combos||Valentine Roses||Valentines Day|#|Occasions=>Thinking of you
