Re: Print string next to pattern matching?

[Anonymous Monk]

Um, see Perl script to find particular string and save those lines in another file? and do it just like that

[sumathigokul]

It prints/saves the whole statement which contains the pattern. But, i want the script to print only the string (not full line) next to colon (:).

Sure, see perlintro#Parentheses for capturing and http://perldoc.perl.org/perlrequick.html#Extracting-matches
