In case anyone is looking for an example of this within a Jenkins context. It parses the build.log and if it finds a match it fails the build with the match.

import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

node{    
    stage("parse"){
        def file = readFile 'build.log'

        def regex = ~"(?s)(firstStringToUse(.*)secondStringToUse)"
        Matcher match = regex.matcher(file)
        match.find() {
            capturedText = match.group(1)
            error(capturedText)
        }
    }
}
