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.

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
