If you have something that prints just "basic" from the input string you've shown us, I think it must be different from the regex you've shown us.

You can use <code> and </code> tags around your data sample, and around the actual code that you have so far (not just the regex), and that will help others at the Monastery a lot.

Meanwhile, to capture the next full token of "non-whitespace" characters following the string "speed " in your example, try this:

    if ( /speed (\S+)/ ) {
        $token = $1;  # $token would be "basic-2.0"
        print "$token\n";
    }

Update: seeing davido's reply, I realize I misread the question -- he's right, you want to capture "(.*)" after "speed ", not just "(\S+)".
