regex - Divide string by line break or period with Python regular expressions

Question

I have a string:

"""Hello. It's good to meet you.
My name is Bob."""

I'm trying to find the best way to split this into a list divided by periods and linebreaks:

["Hello", "It's good to meet you", "My name is Bob"]

I'm pretty sure I should use regular expressions, but, having no experience with them, I'm struggling to figure out how to do this.

Answer 1

You don't need regex.

>>> txt = """Hello. It's good to meet you.
... My name is Bob."""
>>> txt.split('.')
['Hello', " It's good to meet you", '
My name is Bob', '']
>>> [x for x in map(str.strip, txt.split('.')) if x]
['Hello', "It's good to meet you", 'My name is Bob']
