alter the user input

lazyman (20)
I have this code here that counts the number of alphabetic letters the user's input,the number of characters total, the number of words and the number of "the" that was used. However now I need to alter the user's input to have two spaces after the end of each period, no spaces between a word or comma and each sentence has to have a capitalized letter and display them at the end. And I'm stuck on the altering part. I briefly started the 2 spaces after each period but it won't display anything.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance.

This took me like 30 min...

The part where it counts all the words/alphabets and such works I just need help working on the altering part.
greenleaf800073 (475)
I don't get the what you mean by altering...
lazyman (20)
So I have to change the users input to display two spaces after the end of each period, no spaces between a word or comma and each sentence has to have a capitalized letter and display them at the end.
LB (13399)
Replace all spaces with nothing, replace all periods with a period and two spaces. Not hard enough? No, you also have to capitalize the first letter of each sentence, but try the find and replace stuff first ;)
