Welcome to the Monastery, periodicalcoder!
If the last line of each entry will always be CAS*, you can split up the file into chunks by setting the record separator ($/) to that, then configure your regex to match across newlines (/m) and to match newlines (/s). The zero-width lookahead (?:...) ensures that '00003' comes after "LX*" and before the record separator ("CAS*").
use warnings;
use strict;
open my $fh, '<', 'file.txt' or die $!;
{
local $/ = 'CAS*';
while (<$fh>){
print $_ if /LX\*.*(?=00003$)/ms;
}
}
