if($line =~ /(?<=Retrieval command for )http:.*?:/){It prints off the "Retrieval command for" part as it did before :(
any ideas?
Cheers,
Graeme :)

I would do
/(?<=Retrieval command for )http:.*?:/
The "Retrieval" part now is contained in a "Look behind section", which is to mean it's not going to be stored as part of the match.
I'm not sure what other cases you can get in that log file, but this solves the problem for that particular line you send in.
HTH,
