Search, copy and paste

Can i search in a file for more than one string at a time? And copy the next string after that and paste it in column style? Is it possible? Thanks!

How about showing an example of copying "in column style" ?

tyler_durden

The file looks like this:

NAME: ABC AGE: 8
ADD: XXX
ETC: 8XMG

The output file will look like this:

ABC 8 XXX 8XMG

Note: The above file appears many times.

perl -ne 's/\n/ /; s/(NAME|AGE|ADD|ETC): //g; print' <file>

That would help me a lot. I thought of grep-ing one string at a time, then copy and pasting it! Your code will ease up my problem. Thanks a lot bud!
