Inserting a space between characters in a string

[arunrr]

Hello,

Need assistance with a simple issue...

I need to convert STRING1 to STRING2

STRING1="ABCDEF"
STRING2="A B C D E F"

Need to insert a space between each char in the string.

Thanks a ton!

Thanks Feherke for the input.

First, I did this...

echo $STRING1 | sed 's/./ &/g;s/^ //'

However, the real issue was this was substituting a variable in a HTML page. Therefore, the final code...

echo $STRING1 | sed 's/./\ &/g;s/^ //'

Unless you goal is obfuscation ( I mean, stopping search engines to index that text ) would not be easier to achieve similar effect with the [tt]letter-spacing[/tt] CSS property ?

Feherke...

You have a point. I have too many variables in this script and therefore went this way. It works for now. I suppose this is a result of minimal HTML experience.
