sentence

This library helps splitting text into its constituent sentences, based on a regular expressions (packed into SplitPattern class) and a list of abbreviations.

Example usage

require 'sentence'
include Sentence

text = %(THE BIG RIPOFF [by someone else]

Mr. John B. Smith bought cheapsite.com for 1.5 million dollars, i.e. he paid
far too much 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. )

patterns = [
  SplitPattern.new(:marked, /\[(.+)\]/, '\1'+Sentence::EOS),
]

Sentence.EN.patterns(patterns).get_sentences(text).each_with_index do |sentence,index|
  puts "#{index+1} -> #{sentence.inspect}"
end

Example RSpec test

describe Sentence, " base functionality" do
  sentences :count => 1, :lang => :EN do
    "Hello world!"
  end

  sentences :count => 6, :lang => :EN do
    "THE BIG RIPOFF [by someone else]\n\n" +
    "Mr. John B. Smith bought cheapsite.com for 1.5 million dollars, i.e. he paid far too much 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."
  end

  between_sentences :count => 1, :lang => :EN  do
    "1.2 + 1.0 = 2.2"
  end
