Re: [MacPerl] how to prepare (mac) multi-line (text) file, then match ...

If I were approaching this, I'd start with the hard part, namely deciding
what makes a sentence.  If you are very lucky, then the rule might be to
consider that every period followed by two spaces and every question mark
or exclamation point followed by at least one space ends a sentence.  For
some assurance, I'd try just printing out the sentences.  Maybe only the 
first fifty or one hundred.

In any case, the rest is simple if tedious.  I see no advantage to reading
paragraphs at all.  There may be a fraction of a line left when you 
complete a sentence, but that's the only look ahead needed.  Piece o' cake.
