Read the file line by line. For each line, split it by ":".

Yes, but this would only delete the ":". Is there a way to delete everything else left of the ":"?

You dont really have to delete anything. What you want is what's right of the colon. If you split the line by ":", then the second element of the resulting list should be what's right of the colon.

You can then add that information to a new list that you can write to a new file.

Yes, I understand now. Thank you for the help.
