I want to make a list of sentences from a string and then print them out. I don't want to use NLTK to do this. So it needs to split on a period at the end of the sentence and not at decimals or abbreviations or title of a name or if the sentence has a .com This is attempt at regex that doesn't work.
import re
text = """\
Mr. Smith bought cheapsite.com for 1.5 million dollars, i.e. he paid a lot for it. Did he mind? Adam Jones Jr. thinks he didn't. In any case, this isn't true... Well, with a probability of .9 it isn't.
"""
sentences = re.split(r' *[\.\?!][\'"\)\]]* *', text)
for stuff in sentences:
print(stuff)
Example output of what it should look like
Mr. Smith bought cheapsite.com for 1.5 million dollars, i.e. he paid a lot for it.
Did he mind?
Adam Jones Jr. thinks he didn't.
In any case, this isn't true...
Well, with a probability of .9 it isn't.
(?<!\w\.\w.)(?<![A-Z][a-z]\.)(?<=\.|\?)\s
