The best way may be a loop as it permits you to handle special cases as
they arise.
With your test example, this will work:
b: ["a" "b" "1" "2"]
replace/all form b " " "-"
== "a-b-1-2"
But that will fail if any of your strings have embedded spaces.
***
This works better with embedded spaces....
b: ["a z" " b" "1" "2"]
replace/all replace/all mold/only b { "} "-" {"} ""
== "a z- b-1-2"
....But it should not be hard to find test cases that break it -- eg if
your strings also have embedded quotes:
b: [{a z "} " b" "1" "2"]
