Hi,

a regex will match something, then what ?
If don't understand what do you mean by a regex to process on the fly dynamically. .

Can you give me an exemple please ?

The goal even if it's "dynamic on the fly" is to replace the right full-stop by full-stop <new-line>

I don't get it how can you do that only with a regex ? are you using perl ?

perl :

Code:
perl -pe 's/\. ([A-Z])/.\n$1/g'

Code:
$ perl -pe 's/\. ([A-Z])/.\n$1/g' input-file
The temperature was 32.8 degrees Celsius.

It was 17.05 by the clock.

extract_usage_from_stx()												  extract_usage_from_stx()

NAME

       extract_usage_from_stx - extract "Usage:" messages from manpages written in Stx

SYNOPSIS

       extract_usage_from_stx [ file  file ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       Process	the  given  files, which should be manpages written in Stx, stripping away everything that is typically not included in a "Usage:"
       message.  If no files are given, read standard input instead.

       A "Usage:" message is a message typically printed when a program is called with incorrect arguments or when help is specifically requested,
       for  example with a --help command line option.	A "Usage:" message is typically a subset of the information provided on a command's manual
       page.

       The information left in the "Usage:" message by extract_usage_from_stx includes:

	   o   the command synopsis, as given in the "SYNOPSIS" section

	   o   the command line options, as given in the "OPTIONS" section, together with the first sentence of their description.  A sentence	is
	       taken to end at a period (.).

       The  output  of	extract_usage_from_stx is still in Stx format, which you might want to further process to produce the actual "Usage:" mes-
       sage.

OPTIONS

	  --version, -V
		 Just show version information and exit.

	  --help, -?
		 Just show a short help message and exit.

SEE ALSO

       stx2any (1).

BUGS

       The end-condition of a sentence is too strong.
