Sentence Boundaries

You can use a BreakIterator to determine sentence boundaries. You start by creating a BreakIterator with the getSentenceInstance method:

BreakIterator sentenceIterator =
 BreakIterator.getSentenceInstance(currentLocale);

To show the sentence boundaries, the program uses the markBoundaries method, which is discussed in the section Word Boundaries. The markBoundaries method prints carets (^) beneath a string to indicate boundary positions. Here are some examples:

She stopped. She said, "Hello there," and then went on.

He's vanished! What will we do? It's up to us.
