help with Kornshell function
I am trying to write a Kornshell function that takes a string parameter which represents a filename or directory name. The function checks to see if there are any spaces in the filename or directory name and then replaces the spaces with an underscore. The returned value is a filename or directory name without any spaces. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

In the kornshell you can get the length of a string with
$ x=abc
$ print ${#x}

If the current locale is a multibyte locale, like de_AT.UTF-8, you get the length of the string in bytes, not characters:
$ x=für
$ print ${#x}
