Though its an old post, just too add value to new readers In case if some one looking for answer with function "a!forEach"..

The answer is inspired from older replies. Thank you ..

a!forEach(  
    items: enumerate(len(ri!inp)),  
    expression: charat(ri!inp, fv!index)
)

Great rule! Just a simple modification to make it dynamic based on the length of the input:

=apply(fn!mid, repeat(1, "qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvb"), (enumerate(tointeger(roundup(len("qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvb")/8,0)))*8)+1, 8)

Just re-read the question. To get groups of 8 characters use...

=apply(fn!mid, repeat(1, "qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvb"), (enumerate(8)*8)+1, 8)

This seems to work, not sure why...

=apply(fn!mid, repeat(1, "qwertyui"), enumerate(8) + 1, 1)

There is probably a MUCH simpler solution than this, but it should work:

=with(local!input:"divide11divide22divide",local!length:len(local!input),local!times:tointeger(roundup(local!length/8,0)),local!array1:repeat(local!times,local!input),local!begins:enumerate(local!times)*8,local!mod:mod(local!length,8),local!right:local!begins+local!mod,array2:apply(fn!right,merge(local!array1,reverse(local!right))),local!array3:apply(fn!left,local!array2,8),local!array3)

yes close, but instead of just one character as each item in the array eight characters in sequence. So maybe a way instead to merge 8 items together and then another 8 items

Are you trying to do something like this? apply(fn!index("string",_,""),enumerate(len("string"))+1)
