I'm attempting something similar - I'm trying to identify the following and then remove it as well as anything that comes after it on the line:

Quote:
NUMBER [12345678]
I've played around with the code above but I can't seem to get my head around the regular expression.

I've got this so far (but it doesn't work):

Code:
sed -n -e 's/NUMBER \[[0-9]*\].*/\1/p'

Thanks!
