Hi Gowtham,

If You are using a text field than to create space in a value use below code. This code will create space between charaters of string in half of the length of String.
for eg:
For 6 digit length of string : Space will be after 3 charaters.
For 8 digit length of string : Space will be after 4 charaters.
For 7 digit length of string : Space will be after 3 charaters.
  
String str= '123456';
Integer n = str.length();
String Newstr = '';
for(Integer i = 0; i <n;i++ )
{
    Newstr+= str.substring(i,i+1);
    if(i == n/2-1){
        Newstr+= ' ';
    } 
}
System.debug('Newstr');

Now you can assign this value to any text type field.
Thanks,

Hi Gowtham,

A number type field cannot contain space between digits even leading zeros also removed.
If we will force to insert it as containing space it will generate an error:

System.TypeException: Invalid integer:
My suggestion is to create your field as a text type.

I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.
