OK....try this on for size....
I have a file contain multiple lines of "203lkjasdf:alsdkfjalskjf"
grep asd data | cut -f 1 -d : | tr \\012 \\40
produces
203lkjasdf 203lkjasdf 203lkjasdf 203lkjasdf 203lkjasdf
Not sure if that is sufficient for you use. There probably is a sed or
awk that is more efficient.....
