That would catch multiple sentences. For example,
octave:1> str = "This is sentence 1. This is sentence 2.\n";
octave:2> str
str = This is sentence 1. This is sentence 2.
octave:3> regexp (str, '.*[.]\W*$')
ans = 1
octave:4> [s,e] = regexp (str, '.*[.]\W*$')
s = 1
e = 40
octave:5> str(1:e)
ans = This is sentence 1. This is sentence 2.
