Parsing output of command for a string

[mbach]

All,
I need to parse some output for file paths which were not backed up. The file paths all start with a capital letter followed by a colon. (ie...C:\Program Files\Winnt\system32\config...
The problem is that the file paths are not always listed in the same field (ie...awk '{print $8}') and I can't index off of any keyword to find the field with the file path. I tried awk but the spaces in the file path threw it off...ie..it would only print C:\Program instead of C:\Program Files\...\...
Anyone have an idea to solve this?

Could you post some of the output and which parts you're after? If it can be parsed, Perl can do it.
