Qt: Insert character every x characters

Question

I am creating a little application in which I create a SHA1 hash with php and use the chunk_split function in php to insert a "|" every x characters.

Is there something similar? Or how would one split the string and insert a character there?

PHP Code:

substr(strtoupper(chunk_split(sha1("this is my super secure test application"), 5, "-")), 0, 29);

How can I do this with Qt?

You could write something like this:

main.cpp

#include <QString>
#include <QDebug>

int main()
{
    const int step = 3;
    const char mychar = 'x';
    QString myString = "FooBarBaz";
    for (int i = step; i <= myString.size(); i+=step+1)
        myString.insert(i, mychar);
    qDebug() << myString;
    return 0;
}

main.pro

TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = main
QT = core
SOURCES += main.cpp

Build and Run

qmake && make && ./main

Output

"FooxBarxBazx"

See the documentation of the insert method in here.
