Try:
Code:
tr '|' '\n' < file | grep "AUS.txt"

Well the default behaviour is to return the line with the searched for string, if you don't have the -o flag available you could discard the line and echo the matched text or discard with sed, or write a filter with awk
Code:
grep AUS.txt file.txt > /dev/null && echo AUS.txt
grep AUS.txt file.txt | sed 's/^.+(AUS.txt).+$/\1/'
