rubric
=AC

I am trying to write a regular expression which extracts the first 3
sentences (that is, all the text up to the third full stop and/or
punctuation mark [!?]) from a text string.

Any tips?

Something like this:

    ^([.\w\W]*?[\.\!\?]){0,3}

...should be ok.

For example, when run over the following text:

    Hello. How are you? I said "Hello"! Dont you even listen?

It should match:

    Hello. How are you? I said "Hello".=20

Whereas, when run over this piece of text:

    Hello. How are you? I said "

It should match:

    Hello. How are you?=20
