(?<!\d)\d+\.\d+ should match the numbers at the end of the lines and yet it won't. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you. Every time someone shows me something regarding regex, I feel like I'm getting lessons from a deity.

You actually helped me out lots. I switched it to (?<!\d)\.*\d{1}+ thanks to your comment and it kinda did the job, so thank you.

It's a terrible solution, but it works somewhat. Thanks for being nice.
