Hi,
i am using roRegex component for splitting the description paragraph into strings by using ". " as the delimiter.But i am getting a weird output.Can somebody help please..?

code:

if valid(videodesc)
    SplitDesc = CreateObject("roRegex",". ", "")   
    if SplitDesc.IsMatch(videodesc) 
        FinalDesc =""
        print "contains :";regex
              print "description: ";videodesc
              descCase =  SplitDesc.split(videodesc)
              print "no of sentences :";descCase.Count()       
              for each descript in descCase
                        print "each sentence :";descript
                       ' FinalDesc = FinalDesc + descript   
              end for
             ' videodesc = FinalDesc
       
          
    else 
        print "no matching expression found.."        
    end if

output:

In a regular expression, . matches any character. You need to escape the period. I think you want (untested:)

SplitDesc = CreateObject("roRegex","\. ", "")

You may want to look into the Tokenize function:

lines = videodesc.tokenize(".")
for each line in lines
   print line.trim()
end for
