Steve,
I don't know i there is a RegExp that is already setup to do that. However as I see it you have a predefined pattern in that file where each section starts with #B and ends with #E. You could use strextract to get those sections and put the content into fields like lg,wd,gl,mp ... in a cursor. Searchingin cursor would be much easier then (but of course I don't know what you would do with it).
