Replace space within quotes
i have an output that i receive and it looks like this:

Code:
echo '/var/FTPROOT/px/sci/archive/20171102070057904-DY_DC04_Daily Inventory Sync-en-us.csv' '/var/FTPROOT/px/sci/archive/20171102070058291-DY_DC07_Daily Inventory Sync-en-us.csv'

what i want to do is replace the spaces in the file names with asterisks "*".

end result should be:

Code:
echo '/var/FTPROOT/px/sci/archive/20171102070057904-DY_DC04_Daily*Inventory*Sync-en-us.csv' '/var/FTPROOT/px/sci/archive/20171102070058291-DY_DC07_Daily*Inventory*Sync-en-us.csv'

i tried with this:

Code:
echo '/var/FTPROOT/px/sci/archive/20171102070057904-DY_DC04_Daily Inventory Sync-en-us.csv' '/var/FTPROOT/px/sci/archive/20171102070058291-DY_DC07_Daily Inventory Sync-en-us.csv' | sed 's~ ~*~g'

but of course, this will replace all the spaces with asterisks. which is not what i want. i only want the spaces within the single quotes to be replaced with an asterisk.

NAME

       scconf_transp_adap_sci - configure the sci cluster transport adapter

DESCRIPTION

       Note -

	 Beginning  with  the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
	 still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more  infor-
	 mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.

       You can configure sci SCI-PCI adapters as cluster transport adapters. These adapters can be used with the dlpi transport type.

       The adapter name is sciN, for example, sci0. Do not use scidN as the adapter name.

       An  sci	adapter can only be connected to another sci adapter or to an SCI switch. When an sci adapter is connected to an SCI switch, it is
       important that you specify the correct port name when referring to a port on the switch as an endpoint argument to the scconf or  scinstall
       utility.  The port name must match the port number on the SCI switch (the number that is printed on the switch itself). Failure to give the
       correct port name could result in the operation failing. The result of providing an incorrect port name will be the same as you	would  see
       if the cable between the adapter and the switch were removed.

       There are no user-configurable properties for cluster transport adapters of this type.
