= FEATURES/PROBLEMS

• this library is generated by 'srx2ruby' which has some limitations and might be not 100% SRX standard compliant.

= INSTALL

Standard rubygems installation:

$ gem install srx-english

= BASIC USAGE

The library defines the SRX::English::Sentence class allowing to iterate over the matched sentences:

require 'srx/english/sentence_splitter'

text =<<-END This is e.g. Mr. Smith, who talks slowly... And this is another sentence. END

splitter = SRX::English::SentenceSplitter.new(text) splitter.each do |sentence| puts sentence.gsub(/\n|\r/,"") end

This is e.g. Mr. Smith, who talks slowly...

And this is another sentence.

require 'srx/english/word_splitter'

sentence = 'My home is my castle.' splitter = SRX::English::WordSplitter.new(sentence) splitter.each do |word,type,start_offset,end_offset| puts "'#{word}' #{type}" end

'My' word

' ' other

'home' word

' ' other

'is' word

' ' other

'my' word

' ' other
