sed - delete everything from the first IP in the file
Hi,

I have a text file with content as follows:
Code:
servers list ips 10.10.10.1 test 2 3 4
desktop station 10.10.10.3 4 test 4
laptops quesy 2013 2012 10.100.18.0 test 4 6 8

all I need is:
Code:
servers list ips
desktop station
laptops quesy 2013 2012

All I need is the correct command or script that would delete everything on each line from the IP address on each line in the file. Each line has IP address in it.

Code:
sed 's/[0-9]*\..*//g' file

Did not work since some of the line has the following:
Code:
servers list ips 10.10.10.1 test 2 3 4
desktop station 10.10.10.3 4 test 4
laptops quesy 2013 2012.142537 10.100.18.0 test 4 6 8

What do I need to add to the following line to have it delete everything from the IP address

sed 's/[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.*\.[0-9]*\.*\.[0-9]*\.*//g' file

output
Code:
servers list ips  test 2 3 4
desktop station  4 test 4
laptops quesy 2013 2012.142537  test 4 6 8

regards,

Code:
$ sed -r 's/ [0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+ .*//g' file     
servers list ips
desktop station
laptops quesy 2013 2012.142537

OR
Code:
$ sed 's/ [0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+ .*//g' file
servers list ips
desktop station
laptops quesy 2013 2012.142537
