Thanks Ronald, I have customised it further and using split command to get the value: if(/\bdn:(.*)/) { $value=$1; @val = split (/,/, $value); print "$val[0]"; last; This gives me what I need. Original Value: dn: ou=Sample-Collaboration, ou=assets, o=abc.com Expected Value: ou=Sample-Collaboration is there any other way around to get it?

    /\bdn:\s*ou=([^,]*)/

    This would store everything between the ou= and the first comma.
