/(?:^|\n) # Start matching either at the start of the string
# or at a newline. The ?: part means, that
# the parentheses I use don't get saved in $1
\.(\w+).+\n # match a line starting with a dot-word and some
# more stuff
\t+\.\w+ # The line after this must start with at least one

\W+(\w+) # and contain some other stuff as well ...
