in thread Regex problems using '|'

Whoops. I posted the wrong pattern. The one I needed to work wouldn't work correctly with the grouping behavior of (), since I had to match on unique text in record 1 to locate the same information that's at the top in the other records.

    OK, that makes it something like: 
    foreach my $vulnerabilityText (@records)
{
    $vulnerabilityText =~ m/(Remediation report\n\n)?(.+)/;
    my $vulnerabilityName = $2;

    print($vulnerabilityName, "\n");
}

    I'm not sure about the newlines, but you'll work that out.
