Split the text in paragraphs
I know that I can use something like this
theText='She loves music. Her favorit instrument is the piano.nn However, nn she does not play it.'
paragraphs = [p for p in theText.split('nn') if p]
for i,p in enumerate(paragraphs):
print(i,p)
to split theText in paragraphs.
However, I would like to add an additional conditional that the next sentence cannot start with a lower case letter.
The actual code provides
0 She loves music. Her favorit instrument is the piano.
1 However,
2 she does not play it.
I would like
0 She loves music. Her favorit instrument is the piano.
1 However, she does not play it.
I believe that I should use some regex, but I could not figure out the correct structure.
regex string python-3.x nlp

You can use the following regex, which ensures that your nn
is followed by a capital letter (and an optional space) using the Lookahead ?=
. Also, in your enumerate, you'll have to get rid of your nn
(here, using re.sub
):
import re
paragraphs = re.split('nns?(?=[A-Z])',theText)
for i,p in enumerate(paragraphs):
print(i,re.sub('nns?','',p))
0 She loves music. Her favorit instrument is the piano.
1 However, she does not play it.

re.split(r'n*',re.sub(r'n*(?= [a-z])','',theText))
