How can I add a space after a specific character in a string?

Question

I need to add a space between X in a string. The program takes measurements in one field and I need to be able to separate integers from the "x" before doing the calculation.

For example: "12x24" should read "12 x 24"

how that answer or even the question is similar to mine? not at all in my opinion — Weemo, Feb 10 '17 at 23:37

Replace 'x' with '<space>x<space>' using str.replace() function as:

>>> my_str = '12x24'
>>> my_str.replace('x', ' x ')
'12 x 24'

Use the replace method to substitute ' x ' for 'x':

string.replace('x', ' x ')
