Hello
I have the following in a variable called TEST
echo $TEST

What i want to do is find out whether there are any spaces in my variable name, and if so do the following
STEPHEN%42LTD
bascially put a %42 where the space is....any ideas?

Thanks for the response....sorry i wasnt clear.
I have spaces .... lets say 3, maybe 4
But i want to put different things within in the spaces. So the above would put %42 in every space
