function test(%text, %replace)
{
   %len = strLen(%text);
   %result = "";
   for (%i = 0; %i < %len; %i ++)
   {
       if (getSubStr(%text, %i, 1) $= " ") 
          %result = %result @ " ";
       else
          %result = %result @ %replace;  
   }
   return %result;
}

test("this is a sentence", "*");

untested but should work
