javascript - Splitting paragraph into sentences -

i'm using following python code (which found online while ago) split paragraphs sentences.

def splitparagraphintosentences(paragraph):   import re   sentenceenders = re.compile(r"""       # split sentences on whitespace between them.       (?:               # group 2 positive lookbehinds.         (?<=[.!?])      # either end of sentence punct,       | (?<=[.!?]['"])  # or end of sentence punct , quote.       )                 # end group of 2 positive lookbehinds.       (?<!  mr\.   )    # don't end sentence on "mr."       (?<!  mrs\.  )    # don't end sentence on "mrs."       (?<!  jr\.   )    # don't end sentence on "jr."       (?<!  dr\.   )    # don't end sentence on "dr."       (?<!  prof\. )    # don't end sentence on "prof."       (?<!  sr\.   )    # don't end sentence on "sr."."     \s+               # split on whitespace between sentences.     """,      re.ignorecase | re.verbose)   sentencelist = sentenceenders.split(paragraph)   return sentencelist 

i works fine purpose, need exact same regex in javascript (to make sure outputs consistent) , i'm struggling translate python regex 1 compatible javascript.

it not regex direct split, kind of workaround:

(?!mrs?\.|jr\.|dr\.|sr\.|prof\.)(\b\s+[.?!]["']?)\s 

demo

you can replace matched fragment example: $1# (or other char not occuring in text, instead of #), , split # demo. not elegant solution.
