Help with Regular Expression

Question

Hello I need help with Regular Expression,

I want to match each section (number and it's text - 2 groups), the text can be multi line, each section ends when another section starts (another number) or when .END is reached or EOF.
Demo

Expression:

\(\d{1,3}\) ([\s\S]*?)(\.END|\(\d{1,3}\))

Input text:

(1) some text some text
    some text some text
    some text some text  
(2) some text some textsome text

(3) some textsome text
    some textsome textsome text
(4) some text
.END

first group should match number (with brackets) and second group should match corresponded text.

Answer 1

Add a positive lookahead:

\(\d{1,3}\) ([\s\S]*?)(?=(\.END|\(\d{1,3}\)))

Answer 2

Does this do what you want?

\(\d{1,3}\) ([\s\S]*?)(?=(\.END|\(\d{1,3}\)))

Just added the "look ahead" - I'm pretty new to regexp but this other thread seemed to help:

(Thanks for the demo site by the way - not seen that before!)
