You can do it using regular expresion, here is an example using vscode: [^.*]{10} replace all with $0 "&B5&"

enter image description here

output:

word word "&B5&"word word "&B5&"word word "&B5&"word word "&B5&"word word "&B5&"word word "&B5&"word word "&B5&"word word "&B5&"word

note: you can use this regex also for sublime. don't forget to check .* button

enter image description here

or using php:

$input = 'word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word word';

$input = preg_replace('#([^.*]{10})#', '$1 "&B5&"', $input);

echo $input;

output:

word word "&B5&"word word "&B5&"word word "&B5&"word word "&B5&"word word "&B5&"word word "&B5&"word word "&B5&"word word "&B5&"word
