Let's try to write a template that matches a numbered list. Here are examples of a numbered list in this task:
1) Curiosity 2) Perseverance 3) ?
1) cabbage 2) carrot 3) apple 4) oranges
Note that:
your template must match the whole list, not just one item
there can be any number of items in the list. The number of items in the list may vary.
your template shouldn't match the text preceding the list
one whitespace separates one number (for example,
2)) from the text on both sides.however, there's no whitespace before the number of the first item (i.e., no whitespace before
1))also, there's no space after the last item on the list.
Put your regex in the template variable.
If you don't come up with a valid regex immediately, don't get sad! It may be not as easy as it looks. Open the website allowing you to check your expression online, copy the example of a numbered list and try to match it with your expression.
Don't forget to escape special symbols such as ) when they should be interpreted literally. Make use of the plus + quantifier. If your expression doesn't match the last item of the list, try to add to the end of the regex a separate part matching the last item specifically.
