  <p>I need to get the "alphabet." word in regex. In the above text there are 3 instances. It should not include "alphabet!". I just tried regex with </p>
  
  <pre><code> MatchCollection match = Regex.Matches(entireText, "alphabet."); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but this returns 4 instances including "alphabet!". How to omit this and get only "alphabet."</p>
