Hi,
i need to recognize itemization structures in strings which follow the format: "digit-digit-dot" like e.g. 1. 2. 19. 211. Given the string " This happened in the 21. century." (the dot behind 21 is used in German instead of 21st) I want know where the dots are but I do not want the 21.-dot to be returned as well. I am not good at regular expressions. How can I retrieve or recognize dots excluding the digit-digit-dot structure?
