This is a really convoluted way of doing things, and you'd have to be a
super expert in quoting to get this right. Instead, why don't you just
have 2 variables, and pass them both, eg:
MSG=csv
FILENAME="my file with spaces"
/path/to/soffice.bin --headless --convert-to "$MSG" "$FILENAME"
Remember to quote both variables, so that if they have any spaces, the
spaces are not accidentally seen as parameter separators, and instead
get passed to the soffice.bin program.
