[SOLVED] delete the end of each line in a file with sed

angel115 · 11-16-2005, 02:41 PM

Here is the problem
I have 1 file: foo.txt witch look like this:

Code:

123K     bla bla bla
12k       sdfnlkbbslfbqs
68456K dsfsfdsdfsqfze

and i want to delete every thing after the first "K" on each line. So after modification the file will look like this:

Code:

123K
12K
68456K

but i don't arrive to find the good sed syntax to do it.

Try this...
sed 's/\(.*K\).*/\1/' file.txt

Or this: sed 's/[kK].*/K/' foo.txt
