Hello,

If the dot is the first dot in the file, this will remove everything after it, but retains the dot.

Find pattern: \..* Replace with: .

If you want to also remove the dot, leave Replace with empty.

When using a regular expression, be sure to mark the option Find-Pattern is a regular expression as "Yes".

To test out expressions, this is a nice online tool: https://www.regextester.com/ but you can google for others. Or just test within Galaxy on a representative subset of your data, help is on the tool form.

Thanks, Jen, Galaxy team
