regex remove dot from end of each word in text

Question

I try to remove dot only from end of each word in given text. (in java) for example:

input: java html. .net node.js php.
output: java html .net node.js php
         


        

Answer 1

Depending on your definition of word you could replace:

(\w)\.(?!\S)

with $1. Which would remove all . at the end of a word followed by a space or end of string.
