Segment text using fullstops
<p>I need to segment text using fullstops using PHP/Javascript.The problem is if I use "." to split text then abbreviations , date formatting (12.03.2010 ) or urls as well split-ed , which I need to prevent.There are many such possibilities , I might not be able to imagine.
How to recognize that the "." is used as fullstop and nothing else ?</p>

<p>When I googled I found about SRX <a href="http://www.lisa.org/fileadmin/standards/srx20.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lisa.org/fileadmin/standards/srx20.html</a> , is any opensource PHP project segment text using these rules ?</p>

<p>I can do with any Linux based command line utility as well unless it is not paid.</p>

<p>This issue deals with cases where segment is breaking with a dot (.) as it is considered as Fullstop.We need to distinguish between a dot(.) and a Fullstop </p>

<p>Cases where . are not fullstops :</p>

<ol>
<li><p>http://www.yahoo.com'>it is a good link. i liked it</p> - only one valid fullstop</li>
<li><p>This is a test case. Lets try it no valid fullstop</p>

<p>http://www.yahoo.com'>Testing is done by amold12@…. - no valid fullstop</p></li>
<li><p>Mr. Abc is in town today - no valid fullstop</p></li>
<li>S. Khan had done it - no valid fullstop</li>
<li>The U.S. is emerging from a recession.  - no valid fullstop</li>
</ol>

<p>As for as code is concerned - I am using javascript text.split(".") method </p>

<p>Thanks</p>
