Perl Regex matching multiple lines
I need a way to extract data from

Code:
X 4T  Solution 21 OCT 2011 37 .00
to account 12345678 User1 user2
X 4T  Solution  Solution Unlimited 11 Sep 2009 248 .00
to account 87654321 user3 user4

I need it to extract 'X' '37.00' and account number 12345678.

I have extracted above stuff from another data files and need to process on the result.

So what code I have is

Code:
if (/START OF STUFF/../End of Stuff/) 
{
   if  ( /^X/../\D+\w\s+20[0-9][0-9]\s\d\.\d\n\d+/ ) {
   print $_."\n";
   }
}

I can extract the complete lines But i need only the matching one
Any suggestions...

ktoblzcheck

KTOBLZCHECK(1)						      General Commands Manual						    KTOBLZCHECK(1)

NAME

       ktoblzcheck - Check Account and BLZ (bank routing code)

SYNOPSIS

       ktoblzcheck [--returncode] [--file=<datafile>] <bank-id> <account-id>

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the ktoblzcheck application.

       ktoblzcheck  is	a program that will check a given account and blz for the bank being valid and the account being valid using some checksum
       calculations, if supported for that particular bank. The output is the clear-text name of the bank specified by <bank-id>, and whether  the
       given <account-id> is a valid account number at this bank.

OPTIONS

       <bank-id>
	      This is the Bankleitzahl (bank routing id), actually it is the account-id of that particular bank at the Deutsche Bundesbank.

       <account-id>
	      This  is the account number you wish to verify. If the checksum method of the bank specified by the <bank-id> is supported, you will
	      get the account-id verified, i.e. if it is a valid account-id at that particular bank.

       --returncode
	      If given, the result is returned via the returncode and no output on the	terminal.  The	following  returncodes	are  possible:	0:
	      account and bank are ok 1: unknown, e.g. checksum not implemented or such 2: account and/or bank not ok 3: bank not found

       --file=<datafile>
	      Specifies the file with the bankdata. This file can be obtained via the internet from the Deutsche Bundesbank on address
	      http://www.bundesbank.de/zahlungsverkehr/zahlungsverkehr_bankleitzahlen_download.php
	      Beware! This page is in German only.

BUGS

       No  bugs  are  known  at  this  time.  Only certain checksum algorythms are supported as of now, so please don't complain if you always get
       "unknown" as return value.
