So you have a regular expression that looks like this:

/\.(?=[^.]++$)/
but you don't know what it does.

You could always go to http://regex.example.com/ and it would parse the string returning:

After the first '.', it will look for this...

This is an actual example of a RegEx that I can't figure out.

I think this parser would have great potential for newbies like me. What do you think?
