You could exploit that the next sentence begins with an uppercase letter or a number.

.*?(?:\.|!|\?)(?:(?= [A-Z0-9])|$)

Debuggex Demo

It splits this text

This is a long string with some numbers [125.000,55 and 140.000] and an end. This is another sentence. Sencenes beginning with numbers work. 10 people like that.

Answer 2

I would just change the strings and put something between each sentence. You told me you have the right to change them so it will be easier to do it this way.

\r\n

By doing this you have a string to search for and you won't need to use these complex regex.

If you want to do it the harder way I would use a regex to look for "." "?" "!" folowed by a capital letter. Like Tessi showed you.
