Is there a regex pattern that splits sentences into words?

[NeoTechni]

I could just use

regex.Split(" ", text)

But I'd prefer something that handles more punctuation

Try this: (\b[^\s]+\b). It ignores punctuation completely and uses word boundaries instead.

thank you

What am I doing wrong?

tempstr = Regex.Split("(\b[^\s]+\b)", Text)

text= "Please send issues to [email protected], putting them in the reviews doesn't help me find/fix them".touppercase

tempstr ends up being an array with 15 cells, but they're all blank.

Did you try: text.get(array position) to retrieve the data?

Did you try: text.get(array position) to retrieve the data?

text isn't an array, and neither of them are a list.

You mean tempstr? Tempstr ends up being 15 empty cells

Here:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Dim text As String
   text= "Please send issues to [email protected], putting them in the reviews doesn't help me find/fix them".touppercase
   Dim tempstr() As String
   tempstr = Regex.Split("\s", text)
End Sub
