This kinda works too but it replaces the character before the period aswell. So “foo.” becomes “foHey” instead of “fooHey”.
It also doesn’t work if there is just a period by itself

You could keep adding more negative look(aheads/behinds)

I’m currently to tired to do a bunch :sob:

try this

local inputString = "This is a test string. It contains a dot. It also contains a %.dot."
local pattern = "(?<!%%)%."

local result = inputString:gsub(pattern, ",")

print(result)

output

This is a test string, It contains a dot, It also contains a %.dot.
