digit spacing

[puk284]

Hi, im writing an application that collects a number consisting of 5 digits,for example, 11234 from the user. The problem i have is that i want to separate the individual digits and display them separated by 3 spaces. thank you in advance for your help.

If you want 3 spaces between each digit, try something like this.

public String getSeparatedString(String separ){
     String spacing = "   "//three spaces     
     String ret = spacing;
     for(char c : separ.toCharArray()){
          ret += c + spacing;
     }
     return ret;
}

If you don't want spaces on the ends, just trim the string.

More information may help get a better answer. For instance, how are you getting the numbers and how are you displaying them? Is this a console application, or is this a Swing or other GUI? What have you tried so far, and can you show us the code?

Best of luck.

I'm not clear with this. How can you do that with 3 spaces?
