Why Space was not inserted after specified limit in the given code?

Question

I want to insert a space every 34 characters in a string

public string MySplit()
{
 string SplitThis = "aaaaaaaaaaaa"; // assume that string has more than 34 chars
 string[] array = new string[SplitThis .Length / 34];
 for (int i = 1; i <= array.Length; i++)
 {
  SplitThis .Insert(i * 34, " ");
 }
 return SplitThis;
}

when I quickwatch "SplitThis .Insert(i * 34, " ");" I can see the space but the resultant string do not show the space. Why?

Answer 1

You are throwing away the result of the insert Try

SplitThis = SplitThis.Insert(i*34, " ");

But there might be other logic errors in your code because you are amending the same string as you are working one and have calculated the number of iterations based on the length of the string, which is ignoring the fact that the length of the string is changing.
