Segmentation rule needed: do not segment text in single quotation marks

Question

Hi all! 
 I have xml files with a lot of abbreviations, like 
 'UNBEEND. PR&Uuml;F. PUNKT NR.' zeigt die Anzahl von unvollst&auml;ndigen P&uuml;rfpunkten an. 
 Studio now segments after every orange marked word because of the full stop and I have to add all of them (which are a lot) to the abbreviation list in the TM settings. I thought there might be a regular expression telling Studio to make an exceptions in the full stop rules, if the text is in single quotation marks. 
 
 Thnx a lot.

Hi Paul, 
 
it did not work with your expressions, but I understood how it can be done and with some trial & error I found solutions for it. Thnx a lot. 
 
It might not be the mos graceful way, but it works with several different expression (as I have different cases). 
 
I used these... 
 
\w*\. .*’ 
 
‘.*\. .*’ 
 
$$\w*\. .*$$

Best regards 
Burim

Hi Burim Bektesi , what have you tried so far? I can't test in Studio at the moment but it seems like something you should be able to achieve in one rule if all the segments follow your example and in two rules if they don't. Maybe something like this in the Advanced rules: 
 
Before break: 
\.'\s 
 
After break: 
\w
