Does this work for you?
\A.*?\n.*?\n.*?\n.*?\n.*?\n
Note that "Process Lines Containing" works on *lines*, and so
any pattern that requires crossing line boundaries will never match.
However, assuming that you have a matching pattern (which you
can easily test using a Pattern Playground or the Find window
itself), the "Extract" button in the Find window may do what you
need; leave the "Replace" field blank and click that button, and
all of the matches for the pattern will be copied to a new window.
