Transform string to a list of ngrams

Function: Transform string to a list of ngrams​

This action helps you break down a piece of text into all its possible smaller sequences of characters, starting from a specified minimum length. This is useful for tasks like text analysis, keyword extraction, or creating variations of a word or phrase.

Input,

  • String to Transform: The original text you want to analyze and break into smaller parts.
  • Minimum Characters (N): A number indicating the smallest length of character sequences you want to generate. For example, if you set this to 2, the action will find all sequences of 2 characters, 3 characters, and so on, up to the full length of the original string.

Output,

  • Result List: A list containing all the generated character sequences (ngrams). This list will be stored in a variable that you can then use in other parts of your application.
