Re^2: Split a paragraph based on the number of letters

in thread Split a paragraph based on the number of letters

I agree that the OP is not very clear. However, if the intention is actually to split a paragraph into sentences, I would strongly recommend using a module rather than trying to roll one's own parser.

Here's an example using Lingua::EN::Sentence:

use Lingua::EN::Sentence qw( get_sentences );

my $text = 'Is Mr. Hyde in? A. J. Smith Ph.D. said "Drop dead!"';

my $sentences = get_sentences($text);
say for @$sentences;
[download]

Output:

Is Mr. Hyde in?
A. J. Smith Ph.D. said "Drop dead!"
[download]

Update: Minor wording changes; added output.

I whole-heartedly agree. I also think the post had all the hallmarks of homework, and I suspect the professor would not accept a practical solution. #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.	[reply]
