Adding a , after a group of text

Good morning, I was looking to add a ,(coma) and a space after every 4 characters.

For example,

qwerasdfzxcv ------> qwer, asdf, zxcv

not always will it always be 12 characters but will always be sets of 4 characters

 

Ive been able to just add 1 , after qwer, but no multple using 

=replace(a1,5,0,", ")

 

im sure I can probably tie in the same formula Mutiple times but have no clue how

      this worked like a charm but just noticed that I do indeed have some charters that 5 characters and not always 4 so its mixed combination of 4 and 5 character all in random sequence. There some instances where it even has a space so then it throws everything off.

      For example,

      qwer asdfzxcv

       

      Regardless thank you for the help and your answer was indeed correct when always a 4 character combination
