Well this is not so hard I guess. If we take care of the following rules.Then I think we can write the algo.

1) A sentence is a group of words which starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop (.), question mark (?) or exclamation mark (!).

2) Have a set of special abbreviation like Mr. Mrs, Dr. etc. Match them while selecting sentences. (This can be extracted from file as well using regx)

Well one starts by using period as a delimiter/marker. But then, it could also come in other weird cases such as, Mr., etc. And one can question the number of such weird cases so looks like some NLP stuff.

The person who has asked this questions doesn't know English language very well. What does he expect, the candidate is a C++ compiler ?

My answer to outsmart this bloke:
I will open the text file in the notepad and start reading it (LOUD).

@Simple Answers: LOL good idea!

@Baba: Simple Answers was talking about the interviewer, not the fella who posted this question.
