Here's a working example:
set myText to "1. What's New with Joomla! 3 Templates 12m 9s\nInstalling
the starting state exercise files 6m 17s\nExploring template changes in
Joomla! 3 2m 11s\nDiscussing CSS and LESS 3m 41s\n\n2. Creating the HTML
Starting File 33m 13s\nReviewing the graphic designs 3m
0s\nUnderstanding Joomla! template file structures 5m 22s\nConfiguring a
Dreamweaver site and populating it with Bootstrap CSS 9m 48s\nBuilding
the grid 10m 11s\nAdding the Google font 2m 50s\nAdding a custom style
sheet 2m 2s\n"
--But you'd probably capture it with a selection. This script assumes
that the first line will be a valid first chapter starting with an
integer, and that none of the subsections already starts with a number.
set myNewTextList to {}
repeat with myItem in paragraphs of myText
tell myItem
if (count words) > 0 then
try
set myNumber to word 1 as integer --If this fails,
nothing else up to the "on error" executes.
set myNumberString to word 1
set myIncrement to 0
set end of myNewTextList to myItem & "\r"
on error
set myIncrement to myIncrement + 1
if myIncrement < 10 then
set mySubIncrementString to ".0" & (myIncrement as
string) & " "
else
set mySubIncrementString to "." & (myIncrement as
string) & " "
end if
set myNewIncrement to myNumberString & mySubIncrementString
set end of myNewTextList to myNewIncrement & myItem & "\r"
end try
else
set end of myNewTextList to "\r"
end if
end tell
end repeat
set myText to myNewTextList as string
return myText

To my knowledge, you could not do this with regex alone, but it would
be easy to do in any scripting language. (I'd use AppleScript, but
only because I know it reasonably well, so it's my go-to language.)
But it should be easy in Perl, Python, or any of the other likely
options, as well.
