You could use this:
($text) = `$Cmd` =~ /^\|GRP\|\s*(.*)/m;
Let me expand that regex for you:
m{
^ # the start of a "line"
\|GRP\| # the text '|GRP'
\s* # any whitespace following it
(.*) # the rest of the line (non-newline characters)
}m # make ^ match at the beginning of a "line"
You could also use
`$Cmd` =~ /\n\|GRP\|\s*(.*)/;
which works almost exactly the same way.
Or, if you know it'll always be the third line...
($text) = (`$Cmd`)[2] =~ /\|GRP\|\s*(.*)/;
