in reply to Markov generator terminate condition

Is it possible you can post the actual Perl code? If you wish to have items in a hash print a new line for each key/value something like following will work:
foreach my $key (keys %hash){ print $hash{$key},"\n"; }
The \n is an escape character that means "newline".
Thanks

      The following is a version of the code above reworked to be a little more Perlish and to allow generation by minimum word count and minimum sentence count. Examine the while loop to see how this works. Note too the commented out line following the comment "Translate spaces to newlines" - guess what happens if you uncomment that!
