delete to end of formatted warnings using sed or cut...

rickkar · #1 (**permalink**) 05-08-2009

hi, i've searched the forums' entries and have tried some of the examples -- to no avial -- this is my first post -- thanks in advance for your help...

As part of an installation program -- i'm receiving two(2) extraneous "libcxb WARNING!" statements -- i want to use sed to eliminate the appearance of these warnings...

The warnings appear as follows:

libxcb: WARNING! Program tries to unlock a connection without having acquired
a lock first, which indicates a programming error.
There will be no further warnings about this issue.
libxcb: WARNING! Program tries to lock an already locked connection,
which indicates a programming error.
There will be no further warnings about this issue.

Note, the warnings appear to be formatted in such a way that the 2nd & 3rd lines in each warning always appear in the same position. Nevertheless, I want to eliminate the entire warning, i.e., everything from libxcb: to ...about this issue.

Could some please help... thx very much!
