Hi there, everyone!

I have been using Xbench for some time, and I love the tool. I have already created some personal checklists that have worked perfectly, but I am failing to create a new one for a specific problem.

I am trying to find all instances in the target text where there is no space between a full stop and the following sentence (e.g., Esto me trae de cabeza.Y que lo digas.)

However, I am currently translating texts with a lot of numbers and the domain .com. This means that I receive a lot of false positives. Therefore, I wanted to ask if there would be a solution in which I can include exceptions.

I tried **.[^com]**, but then all the numbers with thousands separator in Spanish appear as well. Do you think of any other possible workaround?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Cheers!

The following search should find all instances of dot followed by uppercase letter.

Target: `\.[A-Z]`  
Search mode: Regular Expressions  
Case Sensitive: enabled  
PowerSearch: disabled
