As pointed out by Zedfoxus here. A very clean method that works on all Unix-based systems. Besides, you don't need to know the exact position of the substring.

A="Some variable has value abc.123"

echo $A"$A" | rev | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | rev                                                                                            

# abc.123
