Default Finding Dots just between Numbers

Hello
While typing Arabic numbers, if a dot (.) inserts between digits of a number, it is formed as comma (,). See photo attached.


I want to find and select (and then remove) all this dots (the dots between Arabic numbers). How can I do it?

You can do that with a wildcard Find/Replace...
Find = ([٠-٩]).([٠-٩])
Replace = \1\2

PS: Not sure of the correct ٠-٩ order for Find/Replace with Arabic - you may need to swap them.

Your wildcard worked, but now I want to replace the selected dots with the symbol (,). While I set this symbol in 'Replace with' section, it removes both dot and 2 of selected digits. I want not to remove any digits.

How can I replace just dot with the symbol?

By the way, the wildcard ([٠-٩]).([٠-٩]) finds both Latin and Arabic digits with dots between digits.

In another word, Is there a wildcard to find just dots between digits, not both dots and digits? If so, I can easily replace selected dots with my favorite symbol without any problem.
Actually your suggested wildcard find dots and a digit before and a digit and after it.

How about you spending some time learning how to use wildcards instead of expecting to be spoon fed the answer to every problem...
