Correct, that was mis-statement on my part. I don't believe the including 
end-of-line with the dot character is a good choice.  It's precisely 
because it queers what should be a simple solution like this one.

The original question is, how do I edit my regex to match the pattern that 
does not end with \r or \n?

([\.a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([^\.]{2})\.(co)[^m\.]

Try the following in studio: at line 1 char one, paste the following

domain.uk.co
hotmail.com
smith.co
abc.co   <- Terminate the document here. do NOT add a line break.

Right now, the above only matches "smith.co" (there's a line break at the 
end). No line break, no match. "abc.co" should not match. Therefor if I 
pass it a variables such as "domain.co", there's no line break, no match.
