A wildcard search for "[,.;]{1}[! ]" would do it BUT...

This is not straightforward as there are plenty of cases where there shouldn't be a space after punctuation. For instance what about numbers or ends of paragraphs?
The number is 24.3 in English but in France it is 24,3.[end of paragraph mark]

What exactly is the purpose of the search? Are you planning on stepping through all the instances to evaluate each one individually?
