"Split a document in its sentences"

Unknown
edited November 5 in Community Q&A
It has bothered me because I think it should be simple  but I have not found any solution for it.
I have a document and I want to split it in its sentences. I used tokenizer component and it only gives me a colored document. I mean I want to extract its sentences and put each sentence in a example set. my process is listed at below.
thanks a lot!

    The tokens are colored to see a preview of the tokenization. If you want to create an example set you will have to create a word list (which is in your case a sentence list) and with the "Wordlist to Data" operator you will get an example set. See process below:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    <process version="5.3.009">

      </context>
      <operator activated="true" class="process" compatibility="5.3.009" expanded="true" name="Process">
        <process expanded="true">
          <operator activated="true" class="text:create_document" compatibility="5.3.001" expanded="true" height="60" name="Create Document" width="90" x="45" y="30">
            <parameter key="text" value="He went to USA. I went to Germany."/>
          </operator>
          <operator activated="true" class="text:process_documents" compatibility="5.3.001" expanded="true" height="94" name="Process Documents" width="90" x="179" y="30">

              </operator>
              <connect from_port="document" to_op="Tokenize" to_port="document"/>
              <connect from_op="Tokenize" from_port="document" to_port="document 1"/>

        </process>
      </operator>

    In this case you have to:
    - use an example set that contains all documents
    - add an ID to the data
    - split the data using Cut Document*
    - activate keep_text in Process Documents
    - Join the original document data to the split data

    *) In Cut Document, you have to manually specify a regular expression that detects linguistic sentences. As you can see, the one I invented is not yet perfect.
