let chunkStr size str =
    let rec loop (s:string) accum =
        let branch = size < s.Length
        match branch with
        | true  -> loop (s.[size..]) (s.[0..size-1]::accum)
        | false -> s::accum
    (loop str []) |> List.rev

//example
"A man, a plan, a canal: Panama." |> chunkStr 3
//result: ["A m"; "an,"; " a "; "pla"; "n, "; "a c"; "ana"; "l: "; "Pan"; "ama"; "."]
