Assuming that semicolon (;) was a typo in the question and you actually meant colon (:) this would be the correct regex:
- anchor at beginning of line (
^) - capture one-or-more non-colon characters (
([^:]+)) - match must end on a colon (
:)
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
while (<DATA>)
print "$1n" if /^([^:]+):/;
exit 0;
