How to split a string into a fixed length string array?

Question

I have a long string like this

dim LongString as String = \"123abc456def789ghi\"

And I want to split it into a string array. Each element

Answer 1

This is my solution:

Function splitN(str As String, n As Integer) As String()
  For i = 0 To Len(str) Step n + 1
    Try
      str = str.Insert(i + n, "|")
    Catch
    End Try
  Next
  Return str.Split("|")
End Function

You can call it like: splitN("abc123def456frg987ef", 3)
