Do you have other domain-specific information about this text? Concretely: if you have another similar report, what parts will have to stay the same, and what parts might change?
You want to make sure whatever you're using to anchor and search is based on something stable. Otherwise, your program may be too fragile to changes in the input, or worse, may be so general as to accidentally anchor to something that just happens to look like the text you're search for, but in the wrong place! The more you know about the general shape of the thing you're processing, the better chance you have to do a pattern matching that isn't too overly generic or specific.
