_.string.replace(folder_name, " ", "")

This will return a string with the spaces removed, if 'folder_name' is a string
variable containing the folder name (with spaces).

You can't nest dtml like this. Just use:

<dtml-var "localfsObject[par1][par11]">

(also note that I removed the . between [par1] and [par11])
