Please use <code></code> tags around your code. I am not sure what is going on each line.
There are a number of ways to approach a situation like this. Before suggesting one, I'd like a better idea of exactly what you have.
Basically the easier you make it for the Monks to help you, the more likely you are to get a relevant answer.

edit: Maybe the data is like this? 

b=23 y=0x11 arg=0x70 def=0x1 val=0x234 checking system 
b=71 y=0x35 arg=0x87 def=0x3 val=0x76d h=reg.k2.io.chk 0x2001 
b=54 y=0x23 arg=0x78 def=0x2 val=0x65b f chk.fin.reg.m_cwr 0x213 
b=54 y=0x23 arg=0x78 def=0x2 val=0x65b checking system 
b=40 y=0x90 arg=0x34 def=0x5 val=0x2197 f ref.grf.pin.clk_trg 0x0021

I have no idea. Please show what goes on what line. This will make a difference.
Without that information, we are just guessing.

###### update
Ok, assuming the formatting by Athanasius++ is correct.
This is a simple albeit very wordy algorithm - make a single line out of the multi-line record and run a regex on that. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my ($b,$f);
while ( ($b, $f)=get_record(), defined ($b) )
{
  print "b=\'$b\' f=\'$f\'\n";
}


sub get_record
{
  my $line;
  my $record='';
  
  while (defined($line=<DATA>) and $line !~ /^\s*$/)
  {
     $record .= $line
  }
  my ($b)= $record =~ /b\=(\w+)/;
  my ($f)= $record =~ /f (.*)/;
  $f//="";
  return ($b,$f);
}

=Prints:
b='23' f=''
b='71' f=''
b='54' f='chk.fin.reg.m_cwr 0x213'
b='54' f=''
b='40' f='ref.grf.pin.clk_trg 0x0021'
=cut


__DATA__
b=23 y=0x11 arg=0x70 def=0x1 val=0x234
checking system

b=71 y=0x35 arg=0x87 def=0x3 val=0x76d
h=reg.k2.io.chk 0x2001

b=54 y=0x23 arg=0x78 def=0x2 val=0x65b
f chk.fin.reg.m_cwr 0x213

b=54 y=0x23 arg=0x78 def=0x2 val=0x65b
checking system

b=40 y=0x90 arg=0x34 def=0x5 val=0x2197
f ref.grf.pin.clk_trg 0x0021
