Title: Re: Find and replace space by the Terminal equivalent

If you are trying to pass a text string to the shell command line, you can just use ‘quoted form of ...’:
quoted form of "this is a 'test' string"
-- "'this is a '\\''test'\\'' string'"
This will allow you to send commands such as:
set myString to “Hello World!”
do shell script “echo “& quoted form of myString
However, if this is not what you want, then the quickest way to accomplish your actual request is to use the TIDs:
Set myString to “Hello World!”
Set {oldTIDs, applescript’s text item delimiters} to { applescript’s text item delimiters, {“ “}}
Set myString to text items of myString
Set Applescript’s text item delimiters to {“\ “}
Set myString to Mystring as text
Set applescript’s text item delimiters to oldTIDs
Sorry to seem a bit cheeky, there, but does that last piece of text actually compile for you?
Because I’m actually trying to use the TIDS but the {“\ “} bit just doesn’t compile. I remember a discussion about that kind of thing, but unfortunately I didn’t save it...
