To any walk in a quiver, we associate a Laurent polynomial. When the walk is the string of a string module over a 2-Calabi–Yau tilted algebra, we prove that this Laurent polynomial coincides with the corresponding cluster character of the string module up to an explicit normalising monomial factor.
