I have a dataframe column which is a an enumerated list of items and I'm trying to split them into multiple columns. for example

dataframe column that looks like this:

the preferred result is something like this:

Also the number of the items varies from row to another [2-7] I'm trying to use str.extract

 df['ITEMS'].str.extract('(\d\.+)', flags=re.M, expand=True)

but it didn't work

this codes works with me

df.str.split(pat="\d\.\s", expand=True)

this one breaks it down separating the numbers and the rest of the text
