title: open file and read sentence
body: <p>I want to open a file and get sentences. The sentences in the file go across lines, like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"He said, 'I'll pay you five pounds a week if I can have it on my own
  terms.'  I'm a poor woman, sir, and Mr. Warren earns little, and the
  money meant much to me.  He took out a ten-pound note, and he held it
  out to me then and there. 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>currently I'm using this code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>text = ' '.join(file_to_open.readlines())
  sentences = re.split(r' *[\.\?!][\'"\)\]]* *', text)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>readlines</code> cuts through the sentences, is there a good way to solve this to get only the sentences? (without NLTK)</p>
  
  <h2>Thanks for you attention.</h2>
  
  <p>The current problem:</p>
  
  <pre><code>file_to_read = 'test.txt'
  
  with open(file_to_read) as f:
      text = f.read()
  
  import re
  word_list = ['Mrs.', 'Mr.']     
  
  for i in word_list:
      text = re.sub(i, i[:-1], text)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I get back ( in the test case) is that Mrs. changed to Mr  while Mr. is just Mr  . I tried several other things, but don't seem to work. Answer is probably easy but I'm missing it</p>
