Add spaces between string according to position

[Bruskie143]

Good day,

I would like to know how to add spaces between a string according to its position?
For example, I have a string variable with value “1234567890”. What I want is for the final value to have a format like this: “1234 567 890”. Thank you.

Assign activity:
String_Variable = “1234567890”

Assign activity:
Variable = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(String_Variable, “(\d{4})(\d{3})(\d{3})”, “$1 $2 $3”)

Hi @Bruskie143

Try this

Input.Insert(4, " ").Insert(8, " ")

Input.Substring(0, 4) + " " + Input.Substring(4, 3) + " " + Input.Substring(7)

@Moulika_Kaviti hello. May I know what the $1, $2, and $3 means?

Hi @Bruskie143

=> Assign -> StrValue = "1234567890"
=> Assign -> Output = StrValue.Insert(4, " ").Insert(8," ")

Now Output contains the formatted value “1234 567 890”

Check the below image for workflow

Hope it helps!!

$1: Refers to the first four digits of the original string.
(space): Adds a space
$2: next 3 digits
$3: final 3

String.Format("{0} {1} {2}", Input.Substring(0, 4), Input.Substring(4, 3), Input.Substring(7))

I hope it helps!!

Hello

Another option

Assign activity:
String_Variable = “1234567890”

Assign activity:
Variable = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(String_Variable, “(?<=^\d{4})|(?<=^\d{7})”, “ ”)

Hi,

Try this

inputString = “1234567890”
outputString = inputString.Substring(0, 4) + " " + inputString.Substring(4, 3) + " " + inputString.Substring(7)
