Do you need to actually know that it is a citation or can you just use the 'period space (' as your trigger? Are there cases where this pattern doesn't involve a citation?



For instance, you could do a wildcard search and replace to move the period which precedes an open bracket by searching for
.{space}(\(*\))

and replacing it with
{space}\1.

Note that the {space} should be an actual space.

Thanks for the reply Guessed.

I've tried this in the past but I receive a message that says 'The Find What text contains a pattern match expression which is not valid'.
