Vistasregex remove short sentences callouts
I want to remove all short sentences (callouts) from a string. See my example below. I want to remove all highlighted text. Maybe text < 25 characters that end with "."

This regex will target sentenses with a max length of 25.
/(?<=^|\.)\s*.{1,25}?\./gms
Test snippet :
const regex = /(?<=^|\.)\s*.{1,25}?\./gms;
const str = `This is a test. Keep this longer text that has over 25 characters. Remove this small text. `;
const result = str.replace(regex, '');
console.log(result);Or without a look-behind. For the browsers that stay behind.
/(^|\.)\s*.{1,25}?\./gms
Substitute with first capture group.
const regex = /(^|\.)\s*.{1,25}?\./gms;
const str = `This is a test. Keep this longer text that has over 25 characters.
Remove this small text. `;
const result = str.replace(regex, '$1');
console.log(result);

Maybe this one helps. I didn't consider the '.' char Because I populated this sentence in JS.
const sentence = (() => {
const sentences = [];
for (let i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
const len = Math.floor(Math.random() * (30 - 15 + 1) + 15);
const sentence = [];
for (let j = 0; j < len; j++) {
sentence.push(String.fromCharCode(Math.floor(Math.random() * (122 - 97 + 1) + 97)));
}
sentences.push(sentence.join(''));
}
return sentences
})();
console.log(sentence.length)
console.log(sentence)
console.log(sentence.filter(s => s.length > 24))
console.log(sentence.filter(s => s.length > 24).length)
