How to create a specific exception to a segmentation rule?

Question

Hello all, 
 
 Could a kind soul tell me how to go about creating an exception to the semi-colon segmentation rule? 
 
 I'd like the break to be after "and" in cases like the one below. Is that even possible?

I use Studio 2022 SR 1. 
 
 Thanks in advance for your help!

 A key thing to know before doing this is what's in the native file and what sort of file is it? Also what rules for segmentation have you already added to your TM? The default segmentation would not do this, so there some things that need to be clarified: 
 In 2022 and 2024 the defaults with a simple text file gets me this: 
 
 So there is clearly more to this story than meets the eye, and you need to make sure we know as well if you want a helpful answer.

 And then I thought better about what you have shown. So I did this:

 The difference could be two things: 
 
 the most likely is you didn't select "Regular expression" when you added the exception and you used regex syntax in the rule. 
 another possibility is that your example doesn't have a space after the word "and"

 Nathalie Deslauriers said: will it impact the merging of my TM with those of my colleagues if we don't have the same rules? 
 Merging or importing with TMX/updating via a project? What exactly is your process here? 
 Probably it won't affect anything, but if you are truly merging you are asked to choose which language resources to use and in this case it could make a difference if you and your colleagues are then going to work with the newly created TM based on a different set of resources. 
 But if you are just updating or importing... won't make any difference at all.
