p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Remove it.  Replace with ""

Ah OK. I think a Regular Expression is a bit of an overkill for that.
You can do it using this code:

var s = "123.456.78910.1234";
var parts = s.split(".");
var newS = (parts.length<2) ? parts[0] : parts[0]+"."+parts[1];
console.println(newS);
