A regular expression for two or more points must be separated as a point

Question

I have such inputs.

And I walked 0.69 miles. I had a burger..I took tea...I had a coffee

And my goal is to convert two or more points to one point, and then a space, so that the input becomes correct according to the end of the grammar. Final result:

And I walked 0.68 miles. I had a burger. I took tea. I had a coffee

I made a regex for this:

[\\.\\.]+

I tested it on Regex Tester , it will not work as I wanted. Since it will also include the 0.69completion of this line .too, which I do not want. If anyone can help me with this, I will be grateful to you.
