import string

file = open('c:\\tmp\\ascii.txt')
text = file.read()
sentences = string.split(text,'.')

newList = []
cnt = 0

for s in sentences:
 cnt = cnt + 1
 ss = (str(cnt) + ' ' + string.strip(s) + '.' + '\n' )
 newList.append(ss)

myfile = open('c:\\tmp\\parsed.txt', 'w')
myfile.writelines(newList)
myfile.close()
file.close()
