Thank you for your submission. I'm not sure it does what I'm looking for, however. The first record's information is buried further down, so the initial pattern won't capture the information I'm looking for. It's why there is a ^ at the beginning of the second portion of the pattern, whereas the first portion does not contain it. Effectively "Remediation Report\n\n" is the equivalent of ^, as it is the starting point for the subsequent match.	[reply]
