How to determine the end of sentence

[zmarcoz]

I have some text for example:

"I love a girl. Her name is Sue. She lives in PA."

Now I want to write a program to separate it into 3 strings and put them into array, so I use a while loop and "Match Pattern" vi. My plan was to find  "." . However, it doesn't work becuase ".". in Labview mean any character. Does anyone have any clue what I should do?

thanks

Exact same answer as give in this answer give earlier today.

"\."

Preceed the point by a  backslash.

The point is a special  character, see help for the match pattern function -> special characters.

How are you going to handle:

"Mr. Jones lives across the St. Paul River from Sue."
