Re: GetWords
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2004
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 60214
interpreted = N
texte = Here's another possible solution: [grep search=([^?.!]*[?.!]) .*&replace=\1][longblock][/text] There is a space after the ")". Untested, but at least it's shorter! If it has problems, it may be that the sentence end characters in the [] need to be escaped with a "\". It not work as desired if a sentence has e.g. "Mr. Smith" or another abbreviation with a period in it. One possibility is to end sentences with two spaces and to change the space in the search string to have two spaces. Bill -----Original Message----- From: Clint Davis
