[osis-core] osisWork regex problem

[Patrick Durusau]

Harry,

About to bounce into an hour long con-call but short answer is no.

The + is to require at least one character after the "." so we don't get 
values like:

Bible.KJV..1998

Can you send the value you are entering?

The regex should be allowing any letter or any number or "_" in any order.
