If it were me, I'd also add a '^' to anchor the regular expression 
(regexp) to the beginning of the line, as in 's/^title=//', just on the 
off chance the string "title=" appears in a chapter name. That'll work 
in sed or perl.

And in the perl regexp, the 's' at the end isn't needed there (only 
changes how the '.' character is processed).  And if you copy and paste 
from the above, note that those curly quotes should be straight quotes.  
Putting that all together:

     grep '^title=' chapters.txt | perl -pe 's/^title=//'

or:

     grep '^title=' chapters.txt | sed 's/^title=//'
