Insert multiple time the same character

[marzy]

Hello I need to insert the same charachter (a dot) in several fixed positions in the file name, I tried with regular expression but I've not been able to do it:
example
original file name:
D90ITH4125104012_R00 - some title text here.PDF

desider file name:
D.90.IT.H.41251.040.12._R.00 - some title text here.PDF

thanks!

If it's always in that same format

> 1-char, 2-char, 2-char, 1-char, 5-char, 3-char, 2-char ...

then you can simply use that.
