Shouldn't that be: [^.]+\.[^.]+ ?
He didn't say he want to capture the first part
At first glance, I thought he needed to escape the '.' the way you
have it, but he doesn't since the [^.] matches everything that isn't a
period, so the wildcard '.' has to match only a real period, so [^.]+.?
[^.]+ works. Still, I think \. makes it clearer.

Andy, can you be more specific? I'm not certain from the description exactly
what string you want to extract. If you could list examples of both the
original strings and the expected result strings, that would help. Also
include examples of the edge cases. (Second period? Where?)

I came up with this:
([a-zA-Z0-9 !]+).?([a-zA-Z0-9]+)
Is there a better way to do this?

Call me stupid. You did provide exactly the information I was asking for in
my other message, I was just not paying close enough attention. D'oh!
You could probably simplify the RE to this:
([^.]+).?[^.]+
