Question quick question

I am using sed to find a pattern in a line and then I want to retain the pattern + the rest of the line. How is this possible? ie:

Code:
line is:  14158  05-15-08  20:00   123-1234-A21/deliverable/dhm.a
 
search for 123-1234-A21 ie:
echo $line | sed 's/.*\([0-9]\{3\}-[0-9]\{4\}-[0-9A-Z]\{3\}[A-Z]\{5\}\).*/\1/'

want to retain 123-1234-A21/deliverable/dam.a

Is using sed the best option for this? currently it only retains the 123-1234-A21

Thanks!

NAME
getunimap - dump the unicode map for the current console to stdout SYNOPSIS
getunimap [ -s ] [ -C console ] DESCRIPTION
The getunimap program is old and obsolete. It is now part of setfont (1). The getunimap program outputs the unicode map (also called a "Screen Font Map") for the current console to standard output. The -C option may be used with Linux 2.6.1 and later to get the map for a console different from the current one. Its argument is a path- name. The output of getunimap is of the form 0xAA U+1234 # comment where 0xAA is the font character code and U+1234 is a unicode character, that if displayed, will be displayed using glyph 0xAA in the font. Many unicode characters may be mapped to the same glyph. the Hash symbol # is used as a comment delimiter; characters after a hash sign (to the end of the line) are comments. The -s option will sort and merge elements, sorting on font character. Hence, it will produce output of the form: 0x22 U+1234 U+5678 U+3456 0x23 U+0023 etc., listing the multiple unicode characters that map to a font glyph. The output of getunimap is of the form accepted by setfont and psfaddtable SEE ALSO
