How to do a parameterized remote trigger from a post build task? - jenkins

Question

I have a jenkins job with a post build task. The post build task is a regex expression. If the regex condition it met, I want to do a parameterized remote trigger to trigger another jenkins build. From post build task I see that the regex condition can trigger a script. Is it possible to have it trigger a parameterized remote trigger?
Basically, I only want to do the second build if the regex condition is met from the first build. I don't want to have a script that executes a CURL to achieve it. Is there any other way?

I achieved this by using the Post-Build Groovy Plugin. You select it under the Post-build Actions of your job configuration in Jenkins. My groovy script performs a regex on the build log of my original job. If the regex condition is met, it triggers a new build.
Below is the example from the Groovy Plugin:
def job = Hudson.instance.getJob('MyJobName')
def anotherBuild
try {
def params = [
new StringParameterValue('FOO', foo),
]
def future = job.scheduleBuild2(0, new Cause.UpstreamCause(build), new ParametersAction(params))
println "Waiting for the completion of " + HyperlinkNote.encodeTo('/' + job.url, job.fullDisplayName)
anotherBuild = future.get()
} catch (CancellationException x) {
throw new AbortException("${job.fullDisplayName} aborted.")
}
