HA!
States are just to demonstrate the concept.
" The first one-line example
:global!/\([.]"\?\|[?]"\?\|[!]"\?\)$/.;/\([.]"\?\|[?]"\?\|[!]"\?\)$/join
" the same one, yet shorter
:v/\([.]"\?\|[?]"\?\|[!]"\?\)$/.;\([.]"\?\|[?]"\?\|[!]"\?\)$/j
" and even more condensed one!
:v/\."\?$\|?"\?$\|!"\?$/.;/\."\?$\|?"\?$\|!"\?$/j
" previous versions work, but you get an error [that you can safely ignore]
" at the last line of text, so here we go with even more interesting
" looking one
:1;$-1v/\."\?$\|?"\?$\|!"\?$/.;/\."\?$\|?"\?$\|!"\?$/j
I have tested those examples on a sample text.
The final version would require testing and tweaking on much wider range of texts.
Now I go to try do this in "pure" RegExp using that lovely
"negative lookbehind of non-arbitrary length" that even Perl doesn't have
