Getting Data In

Can I use backreferences in LINE_BREAKER?

I want to group consecutive lines starting with the same pattern. I know the TRANSACTION command can be used as well, but having it already indexed correctly would be very handy...

Something like

LINE_BREAKER = ([\n\r]+)((\S+\s+){4}).*([\n\r]+\2.*)*

Thanks,
Paolo
