[R] separate the sentence after finding a particular word

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

Sorry for my earlier reply, it was meant for another question you posted.
In what follows, 'x' is your text.

f <- function(x, pattern) unlist(strsplit(x, pattern))

x <- "I love to watch movies  of Hollywood but should not be 
romantic...I want to
join you school but due to bad financial condition I cant."
x <- gsub("[[:space:]]+", " ", x)

pat <- c("but", "\\.\\.+") # one period is ok, not 2 or more

Reduce(f, c(x, pat))  # break it.
