Hi Nully,
That bit of usage i’m clear on, after reading a book, the problem is:
Can you follow it with a (.)Full-stop/Period.
Or is that just scruffy and bad Punctuation.
What Bob said made perfect sense, but is (Data)(...)(.)a legal move?
‘All text removed’ up to a ‘Full-stop’ just looks odd.
Just wanting to get it right and remove this niggling doubt from my head.

When I have seen that (....) in print, in books or newspapers, the period is usually in bold. That indicates the end of the thought that is quoted or surmised.

NicknamedBob’s explanation and mine are not incompatible.
I’m not certain of the finer points of usage, but I customarily use it at the end of a post to indicate things unsaid and/or thoughts to be completed by the reader or simply trailing off...
