First, learn to use the formatting tools available. In particular, you should have noticed when you hit 'preview' that your text had run together. You probably wanted that in code tags.

Second:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; while (<>) { print "found '$1'\n" if /:([^;]+)/; } __END__

which when given the input file you describe via a call like

./foo.pl input_file

will print

found ' karemaips01' found ' karemadom02' found ' karemadbo01' found ' karemadom01.emea.pfizer.com' found ' karemasss05' found ' ka-lvsapp' found ' emakars001.pfizer.com' found ' ka-lvsn1' found ' ka-efss' found ' ka-lvsn2' found ' karemafil-c' found ' ka-lvscluco' found ' ka-lvsdb'

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
