Definition: In computer science, backsplicing is a method used to replace an existing string with another string that has been separated by the same number of spaces as the original string. This operation can be useful in situations where you want to replicate or modify text while preserving its structure and formatting. For example: ``` text = "This is a test" backspliced_text = backsplice(text, 2) print(backspliced_text) # prints: "this is a test" ```
