Thanks for the reply. But your solution does not do what I need. My problem is more general. In my problem the var1 and var2 are not literal strings but are themselves arbitrary and need to have the text before them stripped away. Here is a clearer description of what I need
Toby> cat sample1
This is some arbitrary text before var1, This IS SOME DIFFERENT ARBITRARY TEXT before var2
This is another line with first part before item1, This is the second part before item2
Toby> sed 's/.*\(var1\).*\(var2\)/\1, \2/g' sample1
var1, var2
This is another line with first part before item1, This is the second part before item2
The output I need from sed would then be
var1, var2
item1, item2

Hi all,
Is Perl included by default in Ubuntu? I'm trying to write a program using as few languages as possible, and since I'm using a few Perl one-liners to do non-greedy matching, it's considered another language, and this is a bad thing.

NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color
set_color - set the terminal color
Synopsis
set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]
Description
Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
cyan, white and normal.
o -b, --background Set the background color
o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names
o -h, --help Display help message and exit
o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode
o -u, --underline Set underlined mode
o -v, --version Display version and exit
Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.
Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.
Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.
set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
