Default Regular Expressions & Middle Name

I am new to regular expressions and trying to understand a little
better. I have a formula that Ron Rosenfeld wrote The first one will
Parse the middle initial followed by a dot (A.) and the second one
will parse the middle initial the (A) .How do I get one formula to
parse a middle initial if it has a . or not?

Thanks in advance
