Works like a charm. BTW, I was gonna say that `m/[A-Z].+?[.;](?<!\.{2,})(?=[^.;][A-Z]\|\s$)/g` [download] would perhaps be even better, so as to not hardcode any specific number of periods for run-on sentences, but it turns out that: `Variable length lookbehind not implemented in regex m/[A-Z].+?[.;](?<! +\.{2,})(?=[^.;][A-Z]\|\s$)/` [download] Sigh. (Oh well, at least there's workarounds; see Why is variable length lookahead implemented while lookbehind is not?.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
