<p>This can be solved using a 'regular expression' search. You need to search for [a-z]\}. You can use either the editors search and replace or some other program. Syntax will vary accordingly.</p>

Surely someone has solved this problem. The online journal I do tex editing for uses \subsection and \subsubsection run in to the text. The problem is that we want to add a period to the title unless there is already a punctuation mark. But I have seen the following in authors' texts (even my own, I must admit).<br>
\subsection{This is a subsection}<br>
\subsection{This is a subsection.}<br>
\subsection{Is this a subsection?}<br>
\subsection{This is an amazing subsection!}<br>
and I would want to automatically add a period to the first form and leave the remaining three unchanged. This is also an issue for the starred version. I have tried a couple of solutions, none of which quite worked. Yet it seems like an obvious thing for someone to have dealt with.<br>
