how to cut based on a string

Hi I have some data where each line will look something like this:

Code:
Time, name, i.d number, RB: 0.9949; RMQA: 0.0005; RB: 0.9951; RRA: 0.3; RA: 0.995; RA: 0.996; EA: 0.99105

etc.

I want to cut out all the RB: and RA:'s with the numbers after.

so in the above example i'd be left with:

Code:
RB: 0.9949; RB: 0.9951; RA: 0.995; RA: 0.996

theres about 50 odd lines like this so I want to loop over them all.

Currently I'm trying

Code:
awk 'BEGIN { FS = "R[A|B]:" } { for (i=2; i <=NF; i++) printf "%s\n", $i }'

but its not working.

If possible I'd also like to include the time at the beginning of each line, which is in the format hh.mm.ss.000

I am a beginner to UNIX and do not have that much knowledge, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance Smilie

NAME
Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangFam; $lext = code2langfam('apa'); # $lext gets 'Apache languages' $code = langfam2code('Apache languages'); # $code gets 'apa' @codes = all_langfam_codes(); @names = all_langfam_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in ISO 639-5. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5 language family codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha'); $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages. This is the default code set. ROUTINES
