Regular Expression

[Ryu]

I would like to create a regular expression that seperates 2 sentences. For
example,

This is a test. Another test.

Is it possible to seperate them into 2 sentences using Regex in .Net?

Hi Ryu
If you mean recognize them as different sentence using the capital letter
or the dot as an indicator , syntax elements in genral (which I guess you
mean ) then yes sure it would be a simple reguler expression. However,
regular expression wouldn't help regonize sentence according to the grammar
rule (or at least it would be very completed thing not as simple for sure).
Either ways, you would use regular expression only for recognition of the
sentence-end but still you have to write your code to manipulate the
string to separate the two sentence.
