G'day Jalcock501,
You asked a very similar question, with a very similar title, using very similar data, in "Search file for certain lines".
Here's a cutdown version (with appropriate modifications) of the technique I provided in that thread (Re: Search file for certain lines):
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
local $/ = "\nh";
print "Block $.\n", /^(E.*?)^G/ms ? $1 : "Error\n" while <DATA>;
__DATA__
hblah
Qblah
Eblock_1_line_1
Eblock_1_line_2
Gblah
hblah
Qblah
Gblah
hblah
Qblah
Eblock_3_line_1
Eblock_3_line_2
Gblah
Output:
Block 1
Eblock_1_line_1
Eblock_1_line_2
Block 2
Error
Block 3
Eblock_3_line_1
Eblock_3_line_2
In Re: Search file for certain lines, I provided an explanation of the code as well as links to more detailed documentation.
I've introduced no new concepts here: if there's something you don't understand here, go back to the earlier post for more information.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
