How can I make a sentence which ends in a quote been sentence splitted but not for regular quotes
  
 
Posted: Mar 31, 2016

I have a sentence which looks like this:

“Hello brown fox.”  Did you like that?

I would like AIML to know to split the sentence between ‘fox’ and ‘Did.’  Currently, it does not do that since `”` is not a sentence splitter.

However, if it were a sentence splitter, then this sentence would fail:

I never liked “brown” foxes.

Wondering if I should / can substitute `.”` with something like “splitquote” and make “splitequote” the sentence spitter.  Then denormalize potentially.

It doesn’t appear to work to do a normal.substitution on `.”` which is what I need to do.  This appears to be something that needs to be done outside of AIML.

It FIRST splits on the `.`  THEN it tries to substitute on `”` which won’t work because it will not be able to distinguish between a `”` in the middle of a sentence or at the end.

Hi, I tried to be sentenced split on .” but it doesn’t seem to work, does it only work with a single character?

Do not check for quotes. This should be removed at the normalization process anyway and leave you with:

Hello brown fox.  Did you like that?

This will then split correctly.

When removing from the normalization, does that mean I should have a value of ” replaced witha space?  I started my normal file from scratch so I could understand the behavior.

What if I want to be able to store that the input included quotes?
