To match the dot character (.) you should use escape it like this: \. Otherwise the dot will match any character for it's a 'wildcard' and the result of your replace will be empty.

I thought that in this example (in this thread) the dot was being used inside of a character class -- and that it does not need to be escaped when it is inside of a character class (wouldn't make sense for "match any character" to exist inside a character class).
