sed question
 

Hi,

i have a file with the following format:

'something' -> 'something new'

I now want to write only the 'something new' in a different file (i want to cut off the whole "'something' -> " in every line).
Any ideas which program would do this best/easiest, sed or cut (or any other?)? I haven't worked with any of them for now...

THank you!

If you just want to remove "something" when it is at the beginning of the line then try:
sed 's/^something//g' /path/to/file

Hmmm, why not just open the "something file" in vi and do this

:%s/something//g

that will remove something in the entire file globally.

then

:w "new filename"

seems much easier.....to me..
