consume whitespace: "\\s+"
match something that is not a number: "[\\d$]"
consume the rest of that line: "[^\r\n]*[\r\n]+"
consume the next line as well: "[^\r\n]+[\r\n]+"

All of that was in a (?: ... )+ block since it can be repeated several times 
before we get to a line with no header.

Clear now?

John.
