I need to add "." at the end of all my citation titles.

I want to use the Overleaf tool the works with cmd+F (ctrl+F in Windows), as it allows to change all the results of a search together.

Therefore the regular expression is title={.*.}, which should change to title={.*.}

How can I do it?

title={.*} works for the searching, but then I have to manually add "." to not lose the title.

  • ... okay, this is a regex question rather than a TeX question. Not sure if it's allowed here.

  • I was unsure as well. But then I saw the "overleaf" tag and I thought it was fine.

    Anyway you will want to lookup "regex capturing group".

    True, I added the parenthesis title={(.*)} and now it works! Thank you!

    Hi, Tom from Overleaf Support. Using title=\{(.*[^.])\} and title={$1.} should do the trick, but as pointed out, this is a question of using regex searches. (And sorry for the article being slightly wrong, you don't need the outer /s in our current interface.)
