Good evening everybody.

I would need to extract the first paragraph of a string, id est the part before the first couple of line returns (\n\n)

For example:

"We had wanted to leave at 20.

But we left at 22"

What I would like to get is "we had wanted to leave at 20".

I guess I have to use the two line feed, for I realized I sometimes put a space after the full stop, so that I guess I cannot use it...

I know I should use regex but that's still.beyond me.

Any hint?

Thank you, have a nice evening.

You can use split to get the list of paragraphs.
or shorter:

"... for I realized I sometimes put a space after the full stop, ..."

Why not (String) replace full stops with line feeds in the first instance? And/or (String) trim the leading/trailing space chars??

Thank you. I could have thought of that, as a matter of fact

Thanks.
