Hey guys.
Thanks for the delete replies..
Got a quick sed question now..
test file::
head -2 sed.dat
228d98f0_f16a_11e6_9544_1ad613f05f7b,1486934882
22b93712_f16a_11e6_a6ad_1ad613f05f7b,1486934883
want to simply truncate/search/replace the end of each line starting
with the ","
to get
228d98f0_f16a_11e6_9544_1ad613f05f7b
22b93712_f16a_11e6_a6ad_1ad613f05f7b
the following isn't working
sed -i 's/\,+\$//' sed.dat
sed -i 's/\,+$//' sed.dat
I'm sure it's simple/trivial...
I'm far from a sed expert, but were I doing that I'd start with this,
and move on from there as required:
's/,.*$//'
which is: comma followed by zero or more of anything, followed by end of line.
I think your expression says:
one or more commas, followed by end of line.
