Bible Reference e.g. Luke 1.68-79

I have Bible References in the format Luke 1.68-79
In order to have this read correctly I have set up a Regular Expression (RegEx)
Pattern:
(\d+)\s*.\s*(\d+)-\s*(\d+)
Replace:
$1 $2 to $3
Test:Original
Luke 1.68-79
gives:
Test:Replacement
Luke 1 68 to 79 
which sounds fine.
 
However, playing it in the main text box, the voice says:
Luke 1 8 to 79
 
Is this a bug or could it be down to another RegEx I have set up?
 
A second RegEx Pattern is (\d+)\s*.\s*(\d+) Replace $1 $2 
 
(I tried to post an image but the From Gallery / Upload tab says only "Select from an option below:" with no options below.)

    Hello John,
    Please modify your RegEx expressions, as the dot (and maybe -) havs special meaning in RegEx, if not "quoted" with \
     
    (\d+)\s*\.\s*(\d+)\-\s*(\d+)
     
    and your second pattern:
     
    (\d+)\s*\.\s*(\d+)
     
    Otherwise the dot in the 2nd pattern actually matches any character (6 in your example) and removes it. I tested my small modification, both work and spoke as you wanted.
