如何在Java中将段落拆分为句子

Question

I am was trying to split paragraph to sentences. The paragraph can have a word like FCB also it includes some html tag like anchor and other tags. I was trying to use like below but it was not perfect separating my paragraph to the specific sentence by living the html tag as it is.

String.split("(?<!\\.[a-zA-Z])\\.(?![a-zA-Z]\\.)(?![<[^>]*>])");  

Please is there anyone which can help me with a better regular expression or any idea?

Answer 1

you can try this:

String par = "In 2004, Obama received national attention during his campaign to represent Illinois in the United States Senate with his victory in the March Democratic Party primary, his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July, and his election to the Senate in November. He began his presidential campaign in 2007 and, after a close primary campaign against Hillary Clinton in 2008, he won sufficient delegates in the Democratic Party primaries to receive the presidential nomination.";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("[^.!?\\s][^.!?]*(?:[.!?](?!['\"]?\\s|$)[^.!?]*)*[.!?]?['\"]?(?=\\s|$)", Pattern.MULTILINE | Pattern.COMMENTS);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(par);
while (matcher.find()) {
    System.out.println(matcher.group());
}

let me know if it works

Answer 2

Description

Rather than splitting on the characters, it would be easier to just match and capture each sentence substring

(?:<(?:(?:[az]+\\s(?:[^>=]|='[^']*'|="[^"]*"|=[^'"\\s]*)*"\\s?\\/?|\\/[az]+)>)|(?:(?!<)(?:[^.?!]|[.?!](?=\\S)))*)+[.?!]

This regular expression will do the following:

• Match each sentence
• allow substrings like FCB
• ignore html tags, but include them in the capture

Note: You'll need to escape all the \\ so they look like \\\\

Sample text

I am was trying to split paragraph to sentences. The paragraph can have a word like F.C.B also it includes some html tag like anchor and other tags. I was trying to use like below but it was not perfect separating my paragraph to the specific sentence by living the html tag as it is.

In 2004, he <a href="http://test.pic.org/jpeg."> received </a> national attention during his Party primary, his keynote address July, <a onmouseover=" fnRotator('I like droids. '); "> and </a> his election to the Senate in November. He began his presidential campaign in he won sufficient delegates in the Democratic Party primaries to receive the presidential nomination.

Sample Matches

Java Code Example:
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
class Module1{
  public static void main(String[] asd){
  String sourcestring = " ----your source string goes here----- ";
  Pattern re = Pattern.compile("(?:<(?:(?:[a-z]+\\s(?:[^>=]|='[^']*'|=\"[^\"]*\"|=[^'\"\\s]*)*\"\\s?\\/?|\\/[a-z]+)>)|(?:(?!<)(?:[^.?!]|[.?!](?=\\S)))*)+[.?!]",Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE | Pattern.MULTILINE);
  Matcher m = re.matcher(sourcestring);
  int mIdx = 0;
    while (m.find()){
      for( int groupIdx = 0; groupIdx < m.groupCount()+1; groupIdx++ ){
        System.out.println( "[" + mIdx + "][" + groupIdx + "] = " + m.group(groupIdx));
      }
      mIdx++;
    }
  }
}

Sample Output

$matches Array:
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => I am was trying to split paragraph to sentences.
            [1] =>  The paragraph can have a word like F.C.B also it includes some html tag like anchor and other tags.
            [2] =>  I was trying to use like below but it was not perfect separating my paragraph to the specific sentence by living the html tag as it is.
            [3] => 

In 2004, he <a href="http://test.pic.org/jpeg."> received </a> national attention during his Party primary, his keynote address July, <a onmouseover=" fnRotator('I like droids. '); "> and </a> his election to the Senate in November.
            [4] =>  He began his presidential campaign in he won sufficient delegates in the Democratic Party primaries to receive the presidential nomination.
        )
    )
