## Example:

In this example, we are passing the required parameters by the function transformation from a *Variables* object.

Where,

*str* = AB CD

*count* = 2

*delimiter* = ,

Right-click on the function transformation object and select *Preview Output*. You can see that the characters specified in the *str* data field are repeating two times, separated by the given delimiter.
