I am new to shell scripting

I am indenting to convert a string like:

abc def ghi

"abc","def","ghi"

This is what I have tried:

testvar= "abc def ghi"

a='"';

res="";
coma=","
for i in $testvar
do
vals=($i//__/ )
 if [ -z "$res" ]; then
 $res= $res$a$vals$a
 else 
 $res=$res$coma$a$vals$a
 fi
done

echo $res

Its giving this error:

$bash -f main.sh

main.sh: line 4: abc def ghi: command not found

What wrong am I doing?
Is there any better way to do this?

Thanks for the pointer, but I am trying to do a bit diff thing, I have already used the split syntax from the link in vals=($i//__/ )

Alternate way by creating an array and using IFS. Loop through every value and add double qoutes around it.

array=($testvar)

declare item
for idx in "$!array[@]"; do
 item="$array[$idx]"
 array[$idx]=""$item"" # Add double qoute
done

(IFS=, ; echo "$array[*]") # prevents IFS from changing.

maybe you can use sed command like below:
(notice that there are multi spaces in def and ghi)

$ echo 'abc def ghi' | sed -E 's/s+/,/g'
abc,def,ghi
