Extract content from several txt-files

Hi!

Im trying to write a script in ksh that creates a single txt-file from specific content in several other txt-files.
From these files I want to extract all text after 'WORD' and before '=', regardless of number of lines and other content.

I have tried cat and guess I need ${parameter##pattern} like below (only text after WORD), but it doesnt work:

FILENAME=/data/files/N01_????_B*

cat ${FILENAME##*WORD} > /data/files/allfiles.txt

Is it possible to do it this way or is there another way?

/Lars
