Question improvement suggestion: Provide specific examples of the segments you are trying to filter out, including any relevant tags, to help clarify your request.  

In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:  

Hello!  

To address your issue with the regex rules in Trados Studio 2022, it seems that the regex patterns you are using are not excluding tags as you intended. Here are some steps you can take to refine your regex rules:

**Step 1:** Modify your regex for the space before a full stop. Instead of using `\s\.`, you can try using a negative lookbehind to exclude tags. For example, you could use:

```

(?<!<[^>]+)\s\.

```

This pattern checks for a space followed by a full stop, but only if it is not preceded by a tag.

**Step 2:** For the space after an opening bracket, you can similarly modify your regex to:

```

(?<!<[^>]+)\(\s

```

This will help ensure that you are not matching segments where a tag precedes the opening bracket.

**Step 3:** Test these modified regex patterns in the Advanced Display Filter to see if they yield the desired results without including segments with tags.

**Step 4:** If you continue to encounter issues, consider reviewing the segmentation rules in your Translation Memory settings to ensure they are not conflicting with your regex filters.

By refining your regex patterns, you should be able to filter out the segments with tags effectively. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask!

There is a way you can achieve this with the advanced display filter.  So if you start with this sample:

In order to filter on segments with a space preceding a full stop you could do this:

(?<=\s)\.

As Jerzy mentioned this won't work because segment #4 should not be picked up and it is:

But if you use the Advanced Display Filter to search in tag content then it will be able to recognise something is there:

So now you get this:

And this is probably what you want.

You can use a similar logic for your bracket.

Perfect solution, many thanks for this! Will really be helpful, as I have this "Illustration <tag>:" in dozes in my documents.
