regex in a for loop

I have a string like this:

1. Zentrallager # TF Schrankwandp (u) -EG- 2. ASH 25 # TF silentglider (u) WS 3. Gutinedu # TF ottomatic 4. Deep Space Three # TF Kleissi1978 F & P 5. crafted by trapper12 # TF trapper12 VR 6. -8- # TF Mrs-Shooter (u) -=SC=- 7. 8. Standard Libelle # TF silentglider (u) WS 9. crafted by phiLLLdd # TF phiLLLdd -=SC=- 10. V8 Vote111 (u) 3R 11. Nimbus # TF silentglider (u) WS 12. Speed Astir # TF silentglider (u) WS 13. I Want My Tears Back # TF KlappstuhI (u) ReX 14. RK-Weporinag # TF ImperatorMar (gu) -=SC=- 15. RK-Hohoieugo # TF -sledge- (gu) > TdE < 16. Oununu # TF Xantros

and I need the values between the "1." and "2." and "2." and "3." .......

My try looks like this:

for($i=1;$i<16;$i++){ // I know there are ever 16 counts
     $j = $i+1;
     $regex = "/$i\. (.*) $j\./";
     preg_match_all($regex, strval($string),$matches);}

My result is empty every time. Matches count is 0. Why?

The variable is definitely a string and the regular expression is functional in some online testers but not in my script.

How about:

$arr=preg_split ("/[\d|\d\d]\./", $yourstring)

Now $arr[n] will contain part n+1 of the string
