Ok so I guess your `print` statement here isn't related to your question and that you only want to match both side of `:' You could do so like that: `($a, $b) = /(\w+):(\w+)/;` [download] The regex at the right remembers the matches due to the parenthesis, and $a get the first value and $b the second.
