RE: Best regex for this, getting software version numbers

[Andy Matthews]

I came up with this:

([a-zA-Z0-9 !]+).?([a-zA-Z0-9]+)

Is there a better way to do this?

Subject: Best regex for this, getting software version numbers

I have these strings:
 
Firefox 2.0.0.8 (Firefox 2.0)
 
Internet Explorer 7.0 (Internet Explorer 7.0)
 
Googlebot 2.1 (Googlebot 2.1)
 
Yahoo! Slurp (Yahoo! Slurp)
 
etc.
 
I'd like to grab everything up to a second period (if it exists). What I
want is in parens next to each string.
 
Anyone have any ideas?

Without testingL

^.*?($|\d+\.\d+)

Which is, basically, beginning of string, shortest possible string, (end 
of string or digits dot digits).
