Just thought I got a hang of it

Hi,

Learning from the correspondences of the list, I thought I got a hang of
the writing simple express until:

:0
* ^Subject:.*GENERATE:\/.*[^:PASSWD]
{ LOGIN =  $MATCH }

I want to make sure that the subject line MUST have the exact format
like:

             GENERATE:kflee:PASSWD

and the LOGIN returned would be kflee. Null would be returned if it does
not match exactly.

I thought \/.*[^:PASSWD] expression means to return the right hand side
but chop off the part 
starting with :PASSWD. Obvisouly I am wrong. Can anyone suggest an
easier way other than the 
clusmy way of using gawk that I know off?

Rgds,
Kfl. HK.
