Hi - evaluating several different options to handle numbered lists within a native pdf document. Placement within the document varies, titles of the lists vary. They all seem to hold the same format after the list is found

1- Request A - each request can have multiple carriage returns/new lines.
2- Whereas some list items may have only one line
3- The number of list items vary
4- The list is separated from the rest of the document contents with a final series of 2 carriage returns leaving a blank line between the list and further document verbage.

I just started to delve into this but wonder if anyone has thoughts?

Hi

Okay worked out the following statement which captures the numbered list (each numbered item may have more than one sentence.

\d-+(?:-\d+)[\s\S]?[a-zA-Z]+.\s*?[a-zA-z].+(?=\s.*(\r\n|$))

But since I need to include the last statement of the regex, I am unable to break the pattern at the next line which does not begin with a \d-
