This works for testing if a given character is in a set, but how can I retrieve
that character just after the defined macro.

To give an example, a macro that adds a dot if the next character is not a
comma.

    \MyMacro{text1} text2     ->      text1. text2
    \MyMacro{text1}, text2    ->      text1, text2

Thanks.
