\. will match a literal full stop.
\\ will match a backslash.
- will match normally without being escaped, so long as it's not in
the context of a character range (ie [a-z] means match any character
from a to z, to match a, - or z you'd do [a\-z])

You might also have to escape the escape character too, i.e. \\.
