Mystring = This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test.

This is a test This is a test This is a test - line 1

dim mystring as string = mystring above
dim arr as new list(of string)
dim sr as new streamwriter(myfile)
For z as interger = 0 to mystring.lengh - 1 step 44

Please Check this:

Dim Mystring As String = "This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test This is a test"
        Dim arr As New List(Of String)
        Dim sw As New StreamWriter("C:\SampleOutput.txt")
        Dim num As Integer = 0
        For i As Integer = 0 To Mystring.Length - 44 Step 44
            num = num + 1
            arr.Add(Mystring.Substring(i, 44) & " - " & " Line " & num)
        Next
        Dim joinedString As String = String.Join(vbCrLf, arr.ToArray)
        sw.Write(joinedString)
