Split()

[David Michael]

I need help. I am a newbie. I am frustrated.
    I am working with a dbm file. It has data in it. The data is formatted in this way:

    key = name: parameter\n name: parameter\n name: parameter\n

I want to get rid of the 'name' and just get the 'parameter'.

The parameter may have spaces in it, so i tried to do a split on : and \n. I do not 
know what i am doing wrong. Please help me. Thank you.
