sed-question delete everthing after a couple of numbers
Hi,

I've a textfile with a lots of numbers. After some numbers are comments.
I want delete these comments with sed, but dont know the correct pattern.

for example (my textfile):
PHP Code:
3202 mycomment
292-is way to low
1#correct
3  #my whitespace comment
4229 // comment
20.201 // numbers with dots are also in my file
202.02 miaumiau
1.234.99 ''''''FOO 
So I want to delete ALL stuff after ne last number ...

correct ouput:
PHP Code:
3202
292
1
3
4229
20.201
202.02
1.234.99
