Hi, eversuhoshin!
Section items are all capitalized, i.e., "ITEM," but your regex is matching both "ITEM" and "item." The following works to capture only the ITEM I: BUSINESS text from the data you provided:
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Slurp qw/read_file/;
my $text = read_file 'a5927574.txt';
my ($businessItemText) =
$text =~ /(ITEM [\dA-Z]+?[: -]+BUSINESS.+?)ITEM [\dA-Z]+?[: -]+/s;
print $businessItemText;
Output:
ITEM I: BUSINESS

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
