[ale] Shell Scripting question

[nick travis]

Here's the exact line in the file, I want to pull out the file name from
it.
VIOLATION  : PAM service rlogin (/etc/pam.d/rlogin) does not have module
pam_shells.so for module type auth.
...ACTION  : Add module pam_shells.so for module type auth to PAM
service rlogin (/etc/pam.d/rlogin).
Example: auth     required    /lib/security/pam_shells.so

there will be several violations like this in the file, but the file
name will start at a different location each time.  since the violation
will be in a different file.
