I'm not sure that your string patterns are correct, but I agree that regular expressions are the way to go.

Here's some pseudo code on what you need. It basically loops through each character in the string (keeping track of if it's "inside" quotes or not) and appends/prepends the space when opening/closing the quotes.

OutputText = ""
insideQuote = False

For Each Character In String

  If Character = """" Then
    If insideQuote Then 
      OutputText = OutputText + " " + Character
    Else
      OutputText = OutputText + Character + " "
    End If
    insideQuote = Not insideQuote
  Else
    OutputText = OutputText + Character
  End If

Dear anuradhapriyankara,
Its very easy, assign the spaces in first and last characters of richtextbox text as a string. F Y I, find the below code,

VB

dim text as string = " " & richtxtbox.text.tostring() & " "
MessageBox.show(text.tostring())

Regards,
