  cut -f 2 -d ':' data_file > output_file

Here are a few ways to do it if you want to do it from the command line in Perl: `perl -pe 's/[^:]+://' data_file > output_file perl -nle 'print /([^:]+)$/' data_file > output_file perl -nle 'print+(split /:/)[-1]' data_file > output_file` [download] TMTOWTDI, --Dave	[reply] [d/l]


No such thing as a small change
