Recovering a string in bash

Hi,
I wish I could recover in bash author: I channel file: / var / cvs / project / dir / file author: I have an idea someone? I thought about sed but I can not make the regular expression to remove everything that is before author: me

more with simple cut :

Code:

---

  echo "file: / var / cvs / project / dir / file author: Me" | cut-d ''-f 3 --

---

Returns from any third field separated by spaces.

Super, thank you. :notworthy
