Given those examples, there might be a few ways to do this -- either try to match from the start of the string: `s/abc\w+\s+\w+(?:, \w+)\s+//; # match and remove unwanted initial co +ntent` [download] or else just look for what you want to keep at the end: `s/.\s(\w+\s+\w+)$/$1/; # match desired end content and remove everyt +hing before it` [download] And of course, if you know in advance how those last two tokens are spelled, you could even use rindex() and substr(): `$_ = substr( $_, rindex( $_, 'yuio jklh' ));` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank for answer but not quite what I look for. This `s/abc\w+\s+\w+(?:, *\w+)\s+//;` only work correct on last line of my example. I'm not able to use second or third option you supply because I do not know what end of line hold only what beginning of line look like. See my reponse to Roy Johnson. Thanks	[reply] [d/l]
