Formatting a text column in a DataGrid

[groston]

One of the fields on my DataGrid is a long text field. I would like to display the field with some inserted characters to facilitate reading the data. For example:

Data: abcdefghijklmnop
Display: abcde-fghi-jklmnop

It seems that applying a "Dataformatting Expression" to the column would be the most straight-forward approach. However, I have not been able to figure out how to use this column for other than numeric data.

Would you please offer a solution to this problem.

Thank you.
