Method Detail

main

public static void main(String[] args)
                 throws IOException

generate sentence list files for a list of documents. Takes 3 or 4 command line parameters:
filelist: a list of the files to be processed
dataDir: the path of the directory containing the document
outputDir: the path of the directory to contain the output
writeXML: if present, sentences are written in an XML format with offsets only
For each file in filelist, the document is read from dataDir/file; if the input file has no sentence tags, the sentence splitter is invoked to add sentence tags; and then the sentence file is written to outputDir/file.sent . Only sentences within TEXT XML elements are written.

Throws:

IOException
