I'm trying in Python to "clean up" a string and remove some characters that were added like :

"1. bla bla" => i want "bla bla"
"#. bla bla" => same
"3) bla bla" => same
"I. bla bla" => same

I tried to use (\W)(\w.*) but doesn't work.

Thanks !

You can try:

^.[.)]\s (.*)

Regex demo.

import re

text = """\
1. bla bla
#. bla bla
3) bla bla
I. bla bla"""

pat = re.compile(r"^.[.)]\s (.*)", flags=re.M)

for cleaned in pat.findall(text):
    print(cleaned)

Prints:

bla bla
bla bla
bla bla
bla bla
