Can be done in different ways, of course. With grep and cut: grep "bla bla bla" file |cut -d: -f2 >> something
With awk: awk -F: '/"bla bla bla"/ {print $2}' file >>something

Theo, Randall thanks really a lot... grep worked for me, but I also enjoyed reading man pages of awk and csplit and trying to figure them out too ;) That definitely helps me a lot! In fact, I customized the code in a way to get the output in a more "plottable" way, but even then I'll still need to use these tools to work with that! Thank you very much again!
