How does MatchEvaluator in Regex.Replace work?

This is the input string 23x * y34x2. I want to insert " * " (star surrounded by whitespaces) after every number followed by letter, and after every letter followed by number. So my output string would look like this: 23 * x * y * 34 * x * 2.

This is the regex that does the job: @"\d(?=[a-z])|[a-z](?=\d)". This is the function that I wrote that inserts the " * ".

Regex reg = new Regex(@"\d(?=[a-z])|[a-z](?=\d)");   
MatchCollection matchC;
matchC = reg.Matches(input);
int ii = 1;
foreach (Match element in matchC)//foreach match I will find the index of that match
{
    input = input.Insert(element.Index + ii, " * ");//since I' am inserting " * " ( 3 characters )
    ii += 3;                                        //I must increment index by 3
}
return input; //return modified input

My question how to do same job using .net MatchEvaluator? I am new to regex and don't understand good replacing with MatchEvaluator. This is the code that I tried to wrote:

{
    Regex reg = new Regex(@"\d(?=[a-z])|[a-z](?=\d)");
    MatchEvaluator matchEval = new MatchEvaluator(ReplaceStar);
    input = reg.Replace(input, matchEval);
    return input;
}
public string ReplaceStar( Match match )
{
    //return What??
}
