michaelbr · 10-10-2020, 10:30 AM

I have a text file with several paragraphs, I'd like to search for paragraphs ending with *[a-zA-Z]</p>, here is an example:
paragraph 1: .....

Code:

.’</p>

paragraph 2: .....

Code:

.</p>

paragraph 3: ......

Code:

</p>

the .... can be either char or number, I'd like to find only paragraph 3, I tried this regex

Code:

([^.]|[^.’])<\/p>$

, but it's not working, can someone please tell me what's the best way to search for this string?
