What is the record separator? How can we tell `Job ID: 52` from `Job ID: 51`?
The input record separator is newline by default. If you want the Job ID of the records where status=SUCCEEDED, you'll need to set the record separator to something other than "\n" and do a multi-line search.`/m`. I think we'd need to see more of the data to help further.
