Question

I am trying to use a regex (javascript) to move periods in a text.
The text looks like this:

This is a text with ending period on wrong line
.
This is a another line

I use this regex:

summary.replace(/[\n\r]\.[\s\n\r]/gm, '.\r')

to make it look like this:

This is a text with ending period on wrong line.
This is a another line

But instead it looks like this:

This is a text with ending period on wrong line
.his is a another line

Cant figure out what is wrong in my regex.

Anyone?

Answer 1

Use this regex

[\n\r]+\.(?=[\s\n\r]+)

replace it with .
