Get the words..

Hi All,

I'm a newbie with scripting.
Can you help me on how to get the 'zekmsam221_0730.log' string from this string?

zekmsam221_0730.log:ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

Thanks,
Jet

Code:
echo "zekmsam221_0730.log:ORA-00942:" | cut -d: -f1

Thanks for the reply.
Can we make it more flexible? Let say we don't know the 'zekmsam221_0730.log' string but we know that there is always an 'ORA-' after 'zekmsam221_0730.log' string.
Is it still possible to get the string before the ':ORA-...'?
