Hi
I have a large text file which I want to rearrange.
How to do that
I want
- every senstence on a single line, where a sentence is a line that
ends on a . or ." This is sentence can be in the orignal text file go
over several lines
What happens with abbreviations and non-period punctuation? "Is
that Dr. Morales? She lives on Mimosa Dr. in my hometown!"
By your original rules, that's an incomplete sentence...
However, you should be able to get something like
:%s/[.!?]\%( \|\_$\)/&\r/g
to get you fairly close to what you expect, assuming
sentence-ending-punctuation is terminated by two spaces or a newline.
Once you have that...
- Every space that's in a line must be counted, placed upfront the
line, and by the number + 1 needs to be done.
You can use the following:
:%s/.*/\=strlen(substitute(submatch(0), '\S\+', '', 'g')).'
'.submatch(0)
to prepend the space-counts.
