If we're golfing, why not:

   Find: .*\.
Replace:

(Note that there's a space at the end of the find pattern and the replacement string is empty.)

Hope this helps!

Or, if there's a chance that the text after the last period-and-space will
itself contain a space,
  find
^.*\. ([^.]+)$

and replace it with \1
(It finds 'stuff that does not contain any periods' after a
period-and-space.)

I have a text file with 2000 lines of text similar to this:

baba /baˈba/ nm. mother
bats /bats/ nf. test; v. test
bei /bei/ v. keep

What I want to do is to find and replace everything up to and including the last period & space, on every line, so the output would look like:

mother
test
keep

I've tried various grep patterns, can't get any to work. Any suggestion
would be appreciated.
