I need to find all instances where a sentence ends with a period, but has no space following before the next sentence begins.
I've tried searching for .* and .? but they pick up cases with spaces as well.
Any thoughts anyone please?

Re: Find & Replace (Wildcards & Spaces)
I can think of two methods: Do 26 searches ".a", ".b" ...
Search using some editor that supports regular expressions. (hmmm... I wonder if anyone has ever asked for regular expression support in Flare.)

I had thought of that, but it would be a long job in this project.
The ideal would be if there was a means of searching for a period, followed by anything NOT equal to a space such as U+0020 or a hard return U+000D
