in reply to manipulating file contents

Have you even tried? Why don't you show us first before we solve this "basic task"?

You might want to take a look at regular expressions (perldoc perlrequick or perldoc perlretut)

    Yes I have been trying. Been trying to use grep and sed. Basically I can do this: cat file.txt | grep 'Key.[:alnum:].0x[:alnum:]*' | cut -c 22-

    So I was not shooting first with out reading. Sorry if it was "beneth" you to have asked for help on something that maybe "simple" to you.
