How to insert a character into a string in Nim

Question

I need to insert a character into a string, knowing the insertion index. Can I do this without resorting to concatenation?

Before:

001D0FF180B2

After:

001D0FF180:B2

You can do that using system.insert:

var s = "001D0FF180B2"
s.insert(":", 10)
echo s  # 001D0FF180:B2

Or sugar.dup if you want to do that in-place:

echo "001D0FF180B2".dup(insert(":", 10))  # 001D0FF180:B2
