@Lachlan McPherson I figured it out!!!! Here's the situation…
I needed to be able to take a numbered list and break each sentence generated in the numbered list. However, whenever there were non-letter or numeric characters like '''.?/' it would cause my syntax to only return a partial sentence, leaving the rest of my work to get messed up… Here's an example of a numbered list that would work ok with the previous regex command i had found somewhere:
Regex Syntax:
/(( d+. ))([ s S]( w+( s|?|: | r| n|$))*)/
with a list like this:

and where it would break would be if there was any character other than a letter or number.
and then somewhere in the regExr.com cheatsheet, there was the '.' - any character other than a line break… so i stripped away all the other capturing groups after the (( d+.)) which means any number with a period and space afterwards… and voila!!!!
/(?! d+. ) (.)+/
This, right here will match only the sentence including all characters and omit the number and period that precedes that sentence!
