How to convert paragraphs to double quotes sentences in python
Question: I have a text file having many paragraphs, i want to split it by sentences
i.e. after every dot "." or ? it split and include the sentence in double
Qoutes like:

This is a sentence. This is an excited sentence! And do you think this is a
question? so what then .

"This is a sentence."

"This is an excited sentence!"

"And do you think this is a question?"

"so what then."

and save it in text file all the sentences.

    
    
    def splitParagraphIntoSentences(paragraph):
    
        import re
        sentenceEnders = re.compile('[.!?]')
        sentenceList = sentenceEnders.split(paragraph)
        return sentenceList
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        p = """This is a sentence.  This is an excited sentence! And do you think this is a question? so what to do then because many people will say this ok. and then what ?"""
    
       sentences = splitParagraphIntoSentences(p)
       for s in sentences:
           sentence=(s.strip())
       file = open("another.txt", "w")
       file.write(sentence)
       file.close()
    

it doesn't work, and not sure how to make each sentence in double quotes, any
help ???


Answer: If I understood correctly what you are asking, try to modify your code to the
following one:

    
    
    import re
    
    
    def splitParagraphIntoSentences(paragraph):
        ''' break a paragraph into sentences
        and return a list '''
    
        sentenceEnders = re.compile('[.!?]')
        sentenceList = sentenceEnders.split(paragraph)
        return sentenceList
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        p = "This is a sentence. This is an excited sentence! And do you think this is a question? so what to do then because many people will say this ok. and then what ?"
    
        sentences = splitParagraphIntoSentences(p)
    
        file = open('another.txt', "w")
    
        for s in sentences:
            if s.strip():
                file.write('"' + s.strip() + '"\n')  # Add a newline after each sentence
    
        file.close()
    

In your case, instead of `p` you need first of course to read the file, since
yours (I guess) was just a simplification.
