Here is some pseudocode. Go nuts.

int i=0;
while (!EOF)
{
i++;
putchar(getchar());
if (i%4 == 0)
putchar(" ");
}

Obviously not you!

If you posted in Software I would more then gladly help you, but since you don't seem to care about that, I could care less about helping

<?php
$str = 'asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf'; // your subject string
$delimiter = '^'; // Character(s) to be inserted after every 4.

$broken = preg_split('/\r\n/', chunk_split($str, 4));
$result = join($broken, $delimiter);
?>

hehe, tried that at first with preg_split... but I was an idiot and didn't realize that it would remove whatever it matched on. Forgot about preg_replace.



<?php
$result = preg_replace('/(.{4})/', '$1' . $string_delimiter, $string_subject);
?>
