Displaying text till pattern match found in a line

Optimus81 · #1 01-31-2013

Hi All,
From the below line if we want to display all the text till found pattern dot/. I was trying with the below code but couldn't able
to print text before the pattern. it display texts which is found after pattern.

Code:

awk '/[Pp]assed/{print;getline;print}' file_name | sed 's/^[^:]*. *//'
