Change the .* in your string to [^.]*
(And you don't need the square brackets around \. )
So:
from [A-Z][a-zA-Z][^.]*\.
…which really means:
from followed by a space
a single capital letter, not including diacriticals/accents
a single letter of any case, not including diacriticals/accents
any number (including zero) of non-period characters (which may
include other punctuation, spaces, line breaks, etc.)
a period
Does that work, or do you need to be more specific?

"Re: Another Newbie GREP help request...":
I managed to figure out that the following would give me everything
that had "from" followed by a capital letter, with a period followed
by a space at the end:
from [A-Z][a-zA-Z].*[\. ]
But that also gives me all the sentences in the line which
preceded the one I need!
How would I strip out all the sentences that precede the one I need?
