Re: first help sentence truncated

[Juan Pablo Carbajal]

Hi,
Just a question, but why instead of re-inventing the english language,
do not chekc for period followed by non-characters strings and end of
line?
something in the lines of (assuming non-greedy *):   '.*[.]\W*$'
I do not see why a regex cannot handle abbreviations vs. periods.
