function isLetter(str) {
  return str.length === 1 && str.match(/[a-z]/i);
}

let re = /(<([^\/>]+)>)|(\.)/g
let str = "<p>my name <b>jone my. name .my name</b> doe</p>"
let newStr = str
while ((match = re.exec(str)) != null) {
  console.log("match found at " + match.index, match, match[0].length);
  let nxtCharPos = match.index + match[0].length
