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 1

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.
