Using a recursive call, you can act on a string, reducing the amount of the string not yet acted upon for the next call.
I hope the code fragment below helps illustrate this. You don't mention what you want done at the end of the string, or any other nuances, but this should give you what you need to get started.

I was wondering if anyone had a solution for this problem. I get an element through which has a string which can be variable length. It could be 20 characters long, 40, 60, upto anything really.
I'm wanting to put in a space every 20 characters, and am unsure on how to do this.
