Hi,

You could try to replace the blank character by ' myPrefix' (not the
blank before myPrefix).

 <propertyregex property=3D"regexp.name"
               input=3D"Foo Bar Blah Blah"
               regexp=3D" "
               replace=3D" myPrefix"
               global=3D"true"
               casesensitive=3D"false" />
