replacing a space with dot

Good Day..

could someone please help me with some code on how to replace a
space with a dot.

what i am actually doing is..

when a user gets to change their display name in oracle it gets
changed through our metaverse system.
users want to use their display names as their email aliases instead
of their first name.last name.

We have mapped their display name in oracle with their last name to
give their display name.

now what needs to be done is to include a dot(.) in place of the space
in between the names.

anyone can help with some code would be gratefull.

Thanks

Hi,

Perhaps,

MyString.Replace(" ", ".")

I'm a little uncertain from your description, and it is possible that you
need something more complex (see help and google on Regular Expressions).
