C# Regex: only letters followed by an optional .
- by TheDude
Hello,
I am looking for a way to get words out of a sentence. I am pretty far with the following expression:
\b([a-zA-Z]+?)\b
but there are some occurrences that it counts a word when I want it not to. E.g a word followed by more than one period like "text..". So, in my regex I want to have the period to be at the end of a word zero or one time. Inserting .? did not do the trick, and variations on this have not yielded anything fruitful either.
Hope someone can help!
