Hi Thorsten,

Thanks for the suggestion. But that search doesn't work for me, for 
example, if ? is at the end of a sentence.

But actually I have been using REGEX for a generalizable 
search/replace function for a long time, and I'm pretty sure the 
REGEX code I posted used to work. I see it doesn't work now (nor does 
a similar search for *, with or without escaping).
