Maybe you should try posting your code. I don't understand what you want from your posts. :confused:

Looks like the OP wants help with homework.

Something like this should work:

FIELD_ONE=$(echo $VAR | cut -d: -f 1)

where $VAR is a variable that holds the info of which you speak. If you need more than that you'll want to dig into your "intro to shell scripting" resources.
