Regex to match a period

I am trying to figure out a regular expression that matches a . (period). I looked for a formula but there was no formula that matches period.

You just need to escape the . as it's normally a meta character. The escape character is a backslash:

\.

E.g:

/[0-9]+\./

Will match a number followed by a period.

If you wanted to match the entire number except the period, you could do this:

/([0-9,]+)/

Here we use the range operator to select all numbers or a comma, 1 or more times.
