Bash - put each sentence of a file on a diferent line-CodePudding

I need to read the length of each sentence on a text file.

I planned to separate each sentence on a different line and then read each line.

# LineSplitter

File="NameOfFile"

while read -r line; do
    # check the neght of $line
done <$file

I tried using tr to replace . for \n but this removes the . and does not work for questions.

Solutions for the LineSplitter?
