SED with White Space

Dear Members,

Suppose i have a variable test which stores a string as below:

test='John drives+++++++++a+++++car'

now i want to use sed on the above variable and replace + with a white space, so that i get

echo $test should give me

'john drives a car'

Between "drives" and "a" i need 9 white spaces and between "a" and "car" i need 5 white spaces since i have 9 and 5 positive signs before.

How can i do this?

XcmsSetWhitePoint(3)						  XLIB FUNCTIONS					      XcmsSetWhitePoint(3)

NAME
XcmsSetWhitePoint, XcmsSetWhiteAdjustProc - modifying CCC attributes SYNTAX
Status XcmsSetWhitePoint(XcmsCCC ccc, XcmsColor *color); XcmsWhiteAdjustProc XcmsSetWhiteAdjustProc(XcmsCCC ccc, XcmsWhiteAdjustProc white_adjust_proc, XPointer client_data); ARGUMENTS
ccc Specifies the CCC. client_data Specifies client data for the white point adjustment procedure or NULL. color Specifies the new Client White Point. white_adjust_proc Specifies the white point adjustment procedure. DESCRIPTION
The XcmsSetWhitePoint function changes the Client White Point in the specified CCC. Note that the pixel member is ignored and that the color specification is left unchanged upon return. The format for the new white point must be XcmsCIEXYZFormat, XcmsCIEuvYFormat, Xcm- sCIExyYFormat, or XcmsUndefinedFormat. If the color argument is NULL, this function sets the format component of the Client White Point specification to XcmsUndefinedFormat, indicating that the Client White Point is assumed to be the same as the Screen White Point. This function returns nonzero status if the format for the new white point is valid; otherwise, it returns zero. The XcmsSetWhiteAdjustProc function first sets the white point adjustment procedure and client data in the specified CCC with the newly specified procedure and client data and then returns the old procedure.
