Hello,

I am trying to create a template with full firstnames of authors and am
running into trouble with authors that have a middle name initial listed
with a fullstop. I don't want the fullstop after their middle name initial
to create two consecutive fullstops in the output.

In my bibliography some of the authors are listed as
Lastname, Firstname
some as
Lastname, Firstname M.
others
Lastname, F. M. (if they go by their initials)

They should render as
Lastname, Firstname. 1990. *Title*
Lastname, Firstname M. 1990. *Title*
Lastname, F. M. 1990. *Title*

For the last two cases I'm getting
Lastname, Firstname M.. 1990. *Title*
Lastname, F. M.. 1990. *Title*

Is there anything that would achieve something like a modifier
stringByAppendingFullStopUnlessFullstopAlreadyPresent ... ;)

Basically something that only places a full stop somewhere if the preceding
character is not a full stop.

Or any other suggestion of a workaround?

Thanks!!

Jan
