Many thanks for your queries:
My answers to both
- I tried to write a search and replace tool in Java. But unfortunately it does not accept punctuation markers and the preprocess.rul file fails and does not do the requisite replacement. In fact the rule file I posted is the rule file which I used for the Java search and replace.
- No the list is not integral it is partial and as I explore the database, some more cases may arise. But on the whole, all punctuation markers need to be replaced by a space followed by the punctuation marker.
Any script in Awk or Perl which can do this.
Thanks a lot
