What are your criteria for splitting this string? Every 3 characters?
If there isn't an even multiple of 3, which group should be shorter,
the first, the last, or maybe some other?

And do you even really need this as a string at all? Perhaps you
really just wanted to format the output of an integer? (I think that
may be done via the locale, but I am not sure.)

Often it's best to specify why you want to do something, as when using
a new language there is often a better way to achieve what you want
than the first way that occurs to you.
