complex regular expression task
- by Don Don
Hi,
What regular expressions do I need to extract section title(s) in a text file? So, in the following sample text, I'd like to extract
"Communication and Leadership"
"1.Self-Knowledge"
"2. Humility"
"(3) Clear Thinking".
Many thanks.
Communication and Leadership
True leaders understand that, rather
than forcing their followers into a
preconceived mold, their job is to
motivate and organize
followers to collectively accomplish
goals that are in everyone's
interests. The ability to communicate
this to co-workers and followers is
critical to the effectiveness of
leadership.
1.Self-Knowledge Superior leaders are able to devote their
skills and energies to leadership of a
group because they have worked through
personal issues to
the point where they know themselves
thoroughly. A high level of
self-knowledge is a prerequisite to
effective communication skills,
because
the things that you communicate as a
leader are coming from within.
2. Humility This subversion of personal preference requires a
certain level of humility. Although
popular definitions of leaders do not
always see
them as humble, the most effective
leaders actually are. This humility
may not be expressed in
self-effacement, but in a total
commitment to
the goals of the organization.
Humility requires an understanding of
one's own relative unimportance in
comparison to larger systems.
(3) Clear Thinking Clarity of thinking translates into clarity of
communication. A leader whose goals or
personal analysis is muddled will tend
to deliver
unclear or ambiguous directions to
followers, leading to confusion and
dissatisfaction. A leader with a clear
mind who is not ambivalent
about her purposes will communicate
what needs to be done in a
s traightforward and unmistakable
manner.
