Hi,

I have been trying for a while now (most of today !!) to try to get a regular expression working for this scenario, but can't seem to come to a right answer... Would you have any ideas?

I have this text and i need to get certain portions out... 

Name "main::dbh" used only once: possible typo at /home/joe/test.pl li
+ne 60.
Script version 1.02 Test version 2.0.2

10 hashes read from index file
hashes from 1 database(s)

2 items read, 2 found, 2 written
Can't call method "disconnect" on an undefined value at /home/joe/test
+.pl line 66.
abc wwdddddddd 123.23
def wwdddddddd 456.56

[download]
The bits i need are:

and the same for def. The letters and numbers may have the form

wwdddddddd:wwdddddddd:wwddddddddd

This is dependent on the outcome of another script.
Any ideas for a regex would be useful...
Thanks in advance...
Joe

ps. dont worry about the warnings, these get output as the result of another script and the abc / def could be any length / character.
