Andreas,
Welcome to the forum. :wave:t4:

I googled “Powershell split string every second character” and this was the first hit:

Using this as an inspiration I pieced this together:

$var = 'b8mysq364kfauhocn9lxwezt7ridp'
($var -split '(..)' -ne '' |
    ForEach-Object {
        'X0' + $_
    } ) -join ' '

… and the output is this:

X0b8 X0my X0sq X036 X04k X0fa X0uh X0oc X0n9 X0lx X0we X0zt X07r X0id X0p

And BTW your string has an odd number of characters. :wink:

When you post code, sample data, console output or error messages please format it as code using the preformatted text button ( </> ). Simply place your cursor on an empty line, click the button and paste your code.

Thanks in advance
