I'm trying to do a search but a narrow one. Basically I've converted some PDFs to ePub but some paragraphs are broken up say one ends with half a sentence and the other paragraph continues on with the sentence.

I want to do search for any 2 characters and but don't find .", ., ?, .", ?", !, !" as those should be proper sentence enders.

Right now I have [^.,^\?,^\!][a-z,A-Z,”,\,, ,+] and it seems to work but is there a simpler way of doing this?
