match string from file	Can't Post

I am trying to match a string in a file up to an "=" sign.
I opened the file, matched a certain line in the file, but than I want to output the string in the line only up to "=".

Example from file.
process13=1|2|3

I want to match only the word process13 after finding it contains the number 3.

Alternative solution to the one presented by Bill:

Code

(split(/=/,$your_string))[0]
