[SOLVED] After colon to end of line

[bluesoul]

Ugh, I'll be the first to admit that regex isn't my strong suit and I may not even need it for this but I don't think substr will do it. Say I have a line that reads...

 

request.type: domain.transfer.request

 

I need to take everything after the colon and space and store it as a string.  request.type: is constant, the text after it is not, and there will usually be lines above and below request.type.

if(preg_match('/request\.type:\s+(.+)/',$text,$matches)){
  print $matches[1];
}

 

edit: added request.type to the regex

Works perfect, thanks so much.
