No worries. you can do either way. If you want to put it in shell script, then make sure that the file is in the same directory as the script .

It will be easier if you run it from the command prompt. just replace the filename with your file and then redirect the o/p to another file.

Code:
tr '.' ' ' < filename | sed 's/\(.*\) \([^ ]*[aA-zZ][aA-zZ]*$\)/\1.\2/g' > outfile


cheers,
