Question

Update: I would like to match a line, started with (" followed by a number and then anything except “.” . For example

("10 Advanced topics 365" "#382")

is a match, while

("10.1 Approximation Algorithms 365" "#382")

is not a match.

My regex is

^\(\"\d+(?!\.).*?$

but it will match both examples above including the second one. So what am I missing here?

Thanks and regards!

Via update:

^\("\d[^.]*$

Try this pattern:

(?m)^(?!.*?\d\.).*$
