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

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)]

def split_sentence(texto):
    split_texto = texto.split()
    comb_st = [] # Combinaciones split
    i = 0
    for st in split_texto:
        comb_st.append(st)
        if split_texto == split_texto[-1]:
            break
        else:
            add_st = ""
            for cs2 in split_texto[i + 1: ]:
                add_st += " " + cs2
                add_st = add_st.lstrip()
                comb_st.append(st + " " + add_st)
        i += 1
    # for i in range(len(comb_st)):
    #     comb_st[i] = comb_st[i].split()
    return comb_st

comb_split_texto = split_sentence(text)
