Task: find all strings (in html view), containing "XXX", where XXX - any character, partial string, etc, but not "."; add an extra line break after (but not after .).

I need to use RegEx in "find and replace" dialog. I found the proper RegEx for searching - ([^\.]()), but i cannot just add after the string I found a new string - , in the dialog, i.e. it just replace THE WHOLE string with what is written in "replace" field. in other words, the "replace with " field doesn't support RegEx.

Any ideas how just add something new (new string) using "find and replace" and RegEx?

Thanks.
