Split a string every n words into smaller Strings

Question

Situation: I have a chunk of text that I want to break down into smaller strings. After every n Words.

text = "This is a small example Text, showcasing my desired output."

Should be split with n = 4 into:

textList = ['This is a small', 'example Text, showcasing my', 'desired output.']    

My idea is to split it in a list with only single words using:

n = len(text)    
textList = text.split(' ', n)   

And then use join() to put it together but I'm stuck because:

for x in range(0, 3):
    ' '.join(textList)

is not putting the list to my desired output together

Answer 1

Try this:

text = 'This is a small example Text, showcasing my desired output.'
text = text.split()
n = 4
[' '.join(text[i:i+n]) for i in range(0,len(text),n)]
