python regex get number and paragraph between number

I have a string like below.

10. Title text
text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2


text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2

text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2

11. Title text
text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2


text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2

12. Title text
text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2

13. Title text
text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2


text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2


text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2

What I want to do is to separate the title and content in chunks and put them in a list.

result = [10. Title text\ntext1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2\n\ntext1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2\ntext1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2, 11. Title text\ntext1text2text1text2text1text2text1text2text1text2text1text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1text2\n\ntext1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2text1 text2, ........]

I’ve tried this, but honestly I have no idea what to do. help

la_text = []
num = 1
for a in range(3):
    sepa = re.findall(r"\d*(.*)\d*", text)[num]
    la_text.append(sepa)
    num += 1

print(la_text)

>Solution :

If s contains your string from the question you can do:

import re

pat = re.compile(r"^(\d+\.\s+.*?)(?=\n^\d+\.|\Z)", flags=re.M | re.S)

print(pat.findall(s))

Prints:
