Quick easy GREP question

Hi I'm looking for GREP to style the numbers below:

1.     This is text

22.    This is text

140.  This is text

So, the code should select 1-3 numbers followed by a period.

Can anyone tackle that for me?

Thanks,

Ash

Thank you for your quick response. However this code is causing the first character of the text (This is text) to be styled, which I don't want. Only the numbers and period.

Thanks
