Answer 1

As noted in several answers here, look at String functions like Split, Trim, Replace, etc to get you going. All answers here will solve your simple example, but here are some sentences which they may fail to analyse correctly;

"Hello, how are you?" (no '.' to parse on)
"That apple costs $1.50."  (a '.' used as a decimal)
"I   like     whitespace    .    "   
"Word"
