I propose you a regex function, working with this regex :

See if you want to consider other cases. Notice that, e.g., A.B. Lda will give AB. Lda, because of the capital letter of the next word

Thanks

This looks a LOT easier than the brute force way I tried

I can single step through and address the A.B. Lda case

 <!-- CASE 1
      TRAILING SPACE FOLLOWED BY CAPITAL LETTER SO ASSUME END OF SENTENCE
      AND LEAVE LAST PERIOD -->
  <!-- CASE 2
        NO TRAILING SPACE SO ASSUME END OF PARAGRAPH 
        AND LEAVE LAST PERIOD -->
  <!-- CASE 3
        HAS TRAILING SPACE SO ASSUME IN MIDDLE OF SENTENCE WITH NO PERIODS -->

I have 3 cases and your function works great on case 1 and case 2. Doesn't seem to do anything for case 3. Can you tweak it a little for me please?
