Automatic punctuation of lines in a multiline TextBox
I need help, that's it, I have to write the data from a multiline TextBox to a database, which is already working, but I have to make an automatic score on this information that was entered by the user, I will give an example:
Isto é a primeira frase;
Isto é a segunda frase;
Isto é a última frase.
The last sentence will always have to contain a "."and the sentences above that will have to contain a";", it has to be done automatically, if the user forgets, because this information will be more later exported to a Word document and have to contain that score.
How do I get the program to do this automatically ?

You can use regex and make a replace
string pattern = @"\s+\n";
string input = @"Isto é a primeira frase
Isto é a segunda frase
Isto é a última frase";
Regex.Replace(input,pattern,";\r\n")+"."
Saida:
Isto é a primeira frase;
Isto é a segunda frase;
Isto é a última frase.

If it is at runtime, you will have to look for javascript, then I can not help you much anymore, however, if it is only at the time of insert, you can run the command replace, changing the line break characters.
Ex: if the content is in HTML:
texto.Replace("<br>",";<br>");
If the text is 'normal' inside the string:
texto.Replace("\r",";\r");
To ensure there will be the"; " I would do the following:
Texto.replace(";", "").replace("\n", ";\n");
And for the "."I would:
Texto.replace(".", "");
Texto.Insert(Texto.Length, ".")
