I am writing a ROT13 java program. I am very new to java. I am wondering how to make it so my output is all in 6 character chunks. I tried % 6 but it would count the spaces as a character. Any suggestions?

What I have tried:

I tried doing,

Java

if ((something.charAt(x++) % 6) == 0)
                  System.out.print(" ");

and things similar to that.

Well, if you can do it by first removing all the spaces using this

string.replaceAll(" ","");

and after you're done with removing all the spaces just get on with searching and retrieval as usual.
Hope this helps.
