What would data that does match look like?

I'd take a different approach. Use a record separator of ";" and a field separator of "\n" so you get a code block every loop. Then use a for-loop to look for GROUP and PARTITION in the lines. If you find GROUP and PARTITION in a row with nothing after, you know you got GROUP, PARTITION, and semicolon.
