Unless you are doing this hundreds of thousands of times in a row, I
doubt you will need to worry about efficiency.
By the way, now that I'm thinking about this a little more, you might
also consider making an NSAttributedString and setting the kern value
for the string to be a large value (e.g. five, seven, it depends on the
font size) instead of putting in spaces at all. If the goal is just the
visual effect of very wide character spacing, this might actually be
closer to what you really have in mind.

Hi John,
Yes, I have, Are you thinking insertString:atIndex:?
So at a basic level, can I get the string length, for loop through each
character and after each use insertString to add a space?
I am just looking for the most efficient way, sometimes I suffer from doing
things multiple ways, trying to find the most succinct and efficient versus
just making it work and optimizing later..

Have you looked at NSMutableString? The APIs are pretty basic here.
I'd recommend working from right-to-left; you'll find it probably makes
the logic simpler.

Hello All,
I am a little stumped today, not sure why, but how would I add a space after
every character in an NSString and produce a new NSString from it.
So I have something like: (ignore the quotes, I just did it for containment
sake..)
³/Users/slack/Music²
And I want it to be:
³/ U s e r s / s l a c k / M u s i c ³
Would anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks!
