You can do a Find/Replace with RegEx checked. 

Look for: 
(=1.+)\.$ 

Replace with: 
$1

What this does: looks for all fields that begin with "=1" captures the whole value except for the final period, then replaces with the captured expression.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] Remove period at the end of 1XX to records that are not Middle Initial

Hello all! I want to remove the period to all data in 1XX fields of my records which are not middle initials. Sample is this "100  \\$aSalvador, Germaine Angelica." 
However, I want to mass delete the period/full stop at the end. How do I do that automatically in regex? Thanks in advance!
