Hello Everyone

I have a set of document in Which every sentence is numbered


Eg 1 today is monday.2 I need to go to work.3 My office is situated at the northeast of NY.4 I am stuck in a traffic

I want to break the sentence when it starts with a number. I Need to split the sentences as below.
Eg
1today is monday.
2I need to go to work.
3My office is situated at the northeast of NY
4I am stuck in a traffic

I have more than 900 pages of document. Help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Allen

You can do this with a wildcard Find/Replace, where:
Find = ([!0-9 ][.\?\!])([0-9])
Replace = \1^l\2

Thank you for your reply Paul

It's not working.

Prompt message : Search item was not found.

Did you check the 'use wildcards' Option? If so, your document's content evidently differs from your post. In that case, please attach a document to a post with some representative data (delete anything sensitive). You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab at the bottom of this screen.

Yes. I have checked the wildcards option. I have attached the document. Kindly check

Your document's content is nothing like what you described in your post!

Your post describes sentences terminate by periods, with a number immediately following and a space between that and the following text.

Your document has non-breaking spaces instead of periods and no spaces between the numbers and the following text.

How you could expect a working solution when your problem description is so far off the mark is a mystery.


For the document you have attached, you can do this with a wildcard Find/Replace, where:
Find = ^s([0-9]@[A-Z])
Replace = .^l\1
