Yes it does, but not as I indented, good catch again.

Line: $VAR1 = "STOCK NO\375--------................... D53006\t\r";
Regex: /(.*?)[.-]*\t(.*)/
"STOCK NO\375--------................... D3006" => "\r",
(if i store key instead of undef)

The problem here is the \375, the nature of this task will be to hack the regex until it works, but I must figure out how to remove the \375 first.
