Need Help??

should we need to escape . ?

/^(?!.*\bgroup\b)(\d{4}) (^.+?.\!\?)$/

Good point that within a character class '.' does not need to be escaped with a backslash. However, you need to use `<code></code>` tags around it in your post so the `[]` aren't rendered as links.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I just copied the OP's pattern. But yeah, `/^(\d{4}) ([^\.]+?[\.\!\?])$/` [download] can be shortened to `/^(\d{4}) ([^.]+?[.!?])$/` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
