Sorry i typed that on my phone last night without getting to verify the expression.. there should be parenthesis around (eg\.\,|eg\.|eg|e\.g\.) though if there are any instances where e.g. would not be enclosed by spaces on either side, (e.g.,, at the start or end of a paragraph) you may want to use (?<=[\L\U])(eg\.\,|eg\.|eg|e\.g\.)(?=[\L\U])
