Print a portion of a line
Hi,
I am facing a little problem...
I have a line like this :
asdcvashfasashXXXXxxxzxcadd:sdcashjqdasdsmgdkdaxdsnd;
I want to print just a portion of line i.e starting from left 5 characters from ":" and upto ";" i.e. in this case it would be
"xcadd:sdcashjqdasdsmgdkdaxdsnd;"
The length of right most string can vary but end with ";".
Also what to do if I want to print just 5 character left to ";"

Thanks in advance.
