I've a unic string of 2000 characters, how can I automate the procedure of
inserting a "\" every three characters?

string as is =
Aa0Aa1Aa2Aa3Aa4Aa5Aa6Aa7Aa8Aa9Ab0Ab1Ab2Ab3Ab4Ab5Ab6Ab7Ab8Ab9Ac0Ac1Ac2Ac3Ac4Ac5Ac6Ac7Ac8Ac9Ad0Ad1Ad2Ad3Ad4Ad5Ad6Ad7Ad8Ad9Ae0Ae1Ae2Ae3

string to be = Aa0\Aa1\Aa2\Aa3\Aa4\Aa5\Aa6\Aa7\.....

Hi,
something like this:


for i = 1 to len(strOriginal) step 3
strResult= strResult & "\" & mid(strOriginal, i, 3)
next i

Public Sub InsertSlashes()

Const strcTest As String =
"Aa0Aa1Aa2Aa3Aa4Aa5Aa6Aa7Aa8Aa9Ab0Ab1Ab2Ab3Ab4Ab5Ab6Ab7Ab8Ab9Ac0Ac1Ac2Ac3Ac4Ac5Ac6Ac7Ac8Ac9Ad0Ad1Ad2Ad3Ad4Ad5Ad6Ad7Ad8Ad9Ae0Ae1Ae2Ae3"

Dim strWork As String
Dim lngLoop As Long

For lngLoop = 1 To Len(strcTest) Step 3
strWork = strWork & Mid$(strcTest, lngLoop, 3) & "/"
Next lngLoop
strWork = Left$(strWork, Len(strWork) - 1)

Debug.Print strWork

End Sub

Result in the Immediate window ...
