There are a few more questions to ask like is the entire line one a sentence or can it be embedded within the numbers?

If the sentences take up the entire line then you can detect if a line starts with a numeric value or an alphabetic character and handle them accordingly. Hint : starting with an alphabetic character would be a sentence.

entire line is one sentence no numbers

is it possible to compare the line format, if the current line and previous line are different then ignore it. So if i compare the line with numbers with the one with sentences then ignore that sentence line

Yes, that is possible but I don't see a purpose to doing that. Checking the type of character is very easy. There are the isdigit and isalpha functions and several others that help with that.

Thanks for the hint I would see through it
