Answer 1

I'm sure there is a cleaner way to do this:

int currentChar = 0;
string maskable = "11111144441111";

string masked = maskable;
int length = masked.Length;

int startMaskPoint = 6;
int endMaskPoint = length - 4 - startMaskPoint;

masked = masked.Remove(startMaskPoint, endMaskPoint);

int numRemoved = length - masked.Length;
string Mask = "";
while (numRemoved != 0)
{
    Mask = Mask + "#";
    numRemoved--;
}

masked = masked.Insert(startMaskPoint, Mask);
string returnableString = masked;
while (length > 4)
{
    returnableString = returnableString.Insert(currentChar + 4, " ");
    currentChar = currentChar + 5;
    length = length - 4;
}
