Sample input:
[CODE]
readline:readline-4.3-2:4.3: : :C:R:A library for reading and returning lines from a terminal.: :/bin/rpm -e readline: : : : :0:
sudo:sudo-1.6.7p5-3:1.6.7p5: : :C:R:Allows restricted root access for specified users.: :/bin/rpm -e sudo: : : : :0:
unzip:unzip-5.51-1:5.51: : :C:R:A utility for unpacking zip files.: :/bin/rpm -e unzip: : : : :0:
wget:wget-1.9.1-1:1.9.1: : :C:R:A utility for retrieving files using the HTTP or FTP protocols.: :/bin/rpm -e wget: : : : :0:
zip:zip-2.3-3:2.3: : :C:R:A file compression and packaging utility compatible with PKZIP.: :/bin/rpm -e zip: : : : :0:

[ /CODE]

the output should be identical. Once I'm able to load each line into memory, I will parse through the lines.
