My code has [[:space:]]\{1,\} i.e. requires at least one space character but greedily removes also the following ones.
With the O/Ps input it produces the O/Ps output.

Ah, yes. I should have gotten some sleep last night too.

Sorry,

I said it above already and i repeat it: to arrive at the sample output the threads o/p provided from his input one needs to remove everything up to the last space of the line.

This can be done by:

Code:
sed 's/.* //' /path/to/file

or, if the lines are needed in shell variables

Code:
while read LINE ; do
     print - "${LINE##* }"
done < /path/to/file

i hope this helps.
