I have written this much and it only reads first line but don't know what to write next

You didn't specify a programming language so something like this would work:

/^[\dA-Z]{18}[^\dA-Za-z].*?Pce$/gms
  • ^[\dA-Z]{18} - start with 18 digits and/or capital letters
  • [^\dA-Za-z] - not a digit nor letter
  • .*? - anything, lazily
    • substitute with [\s\S]*? if single line modifier is not available to you
  • Pce$ - end with Pce
  • gms - global, multi line, and single line modifiers

. in most engines doesn't include new lines, hence your match stopping at the end of the line. You could either use the DOTALL flag if available, otherwise hack around with an "include-all" class, for example [\s\S] (a char that is either a space or not a space).

With a lazy quantifier, you could use for example:

^[0-9A-Z]{18}[\s\S]*?Pce$
