Replace space in variable with period

[djox]

I am calling a flow from Power Virtual Agents, I am passing the user name that contains spaces e.g. Fred A Smith and I want to replace the spaces with a period i.e. Fred.A.Smith to use in a API call 

I initialized a variable USER_NAME with the UserName that was passed to the flow

I thought it would be a simple matter of using the compose to replace the characters, but no matter what I try  the USER_NAME string is not been updated. And as a result the API does not return anything.

If I create a test variable in the correct format and pass that to the API my flow works correctly.

Am I missing something obvious?

Instead of using the %32 etc. I usually just create a new String Variable (initialize variable) called "Space" and just put a space in it...

Then i can use this formula: 

replace(variables('UserName'),variables('Space'),'.')

Output:

Hi @djox 

replace(variables('USER_NAME'),' ','F')

 This is sufficient in compose which should do.

Thanks
