Suppose I have a long string:
"XOVEWVJIEWNIGOIWENVOIWEWVWEW" How do I split this to get every 5 characters followed by a space?
"XOVEW VJIEW NIGOI WENVO IWEWV WEW" Note that the last one is shorter.
I can do a loop where I constantly count and build a new string character by character but surely there must be something better no?

To split a string every nth character:Use a list comprehension to iterate over a range with step N. On each iteration, use string slicing to select a slice of the string. The list will contain string slices with maximum length of N.
Method 1: Split multiple characters from string using re. split() This is the most efficient and commonly used method to split multiple characters at once. It makes use of regex(regular expressions) in order to do this.
Using the String#split Method As the name implies, it splits a string into multiple parts based on a given delimiter or regular expression. As we can see, we used the regex (? <=\\G. {” + n + “}) where n is the number of characters.
Use range() function and slicing notation to split string by a number of characters in Python.
Using regular expressions:
gsub("(.{5})", "\\1 ", "XOVEWVJIEWNIGOIWENVOIWEWVWEW") # [1] "XOVEW VJIEW NIGOI WENVO IWEWV WEW" If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
