Your strings are not that complicated!

Code:
/Users/scott/scripts/tmp $ awk '/^(mai|sim)/' file1
mai.lim.13_60.colorValidationResponse
sim.nam.13_60.colorValidationResponse
sim.lim.12_80.colorValidationResponse
sim.lim.13_60.colorValidationRequest
sim.lim.14_90.colorValidationResponse
sim.nam.13_60.colorValidationResponse
/Users/scott/scripts/tmp $ grep -E 'mai|sim' file1     
mai.lim.13_60.colorValidationResponse
sim.nam.13_60.colorValidationResponse
sim.lim.12_80.colorValidationResponse
sim.lim.13_60.colorValidationRequest
sim.lim.14_90.colorValidationResponse
sim.nam.13_60.colorValidationResponse

gets all the strings you need. What you mean by "1st output", "2nd output", etc. could use some explaining Smilie
