Extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused as the expression was a mess due to improper code tags.
I have corrected them now.

@ yazu..
the above code did not work . it says

Code:

sed -e 's/(^[^:]+):[^=]+=(.*)/\1 \2/' backreftext
sed: command garbled: s/(^[^:]+):[^=]+=(.*)/\1 \2/

another information : i am using sun solaris system.

Code:

uname -a
SunOS simsun2 5.10 Generic_150400-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise

@RavinderSingh13
the given awk code did not work

Code:

awk -vs1="'" -F"=" '{sub(/:.*=/,"=",$0);n=split($2, A,".");sub(s1,X,A[n]);print $1 OFS A[n]}' backreftext
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: illegal statement near line 1
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: illegal statement near line 1

May be i am missing something, as i have directly copied and pasted the text.
