How to achieve the find and replace following task?

I have a string pattern like "test" : "abc/gef fhhff/fhrhr krerjr",

I would like to replace all space in the line beginning with "test" with plus sign. How to do that using regular expression?

for vb net try 

        Dim strCurrentLine as string = "test : abc/gef fhhff/fhrhr krerjr"

        If UCase(strCurrentLine.ToString.StartsWith("TEST")) = True Then
            strCurrentLine = Replace(strCurrentLine.ToString, " ", "Replace space with this text")
        End If

for C# try 

    string strCurrentLine = "test : abc/gef fhhff/fhrhr krerjr";

    if (Strings.UCase(strCurrentLine.ToString().StartsWith("TEST")) == true) {
        strCurrentLine = Strings.Replace(strCurrentLine.ToString(), " ", "Replace space with this text");
    }

In perl you have to do something like:

use strict;
use warnings;

use 5.010;

my $text = q|test : "abc/gef fhhff/fhrhr krerjr"|;

#below is the regex that does the replace - \s is for whitespace class
$text =~ s/\s/+/gmix if ( $text =~ /^test/gmix);

say "new text: $text";
