Read from a file then filter the output
Hi
i need a script which reads a certain file and then display it on the screen.
The thing is i need to filter the display output.

this is an example of the file which is to be loaded in the script.

asdfg1.1.1|98
hjkldfe4.0.3|123
asdzxzvdweradfsdafascv10.0.10|123456789
/ar/bl/ew/as/qw/ds/as.bc.19980123.asdfgt14:adfjeiop2.0.3|112356
/dfd/eras/xzcv/asdf/asdf/adsf/a.d.c.19990124.fasdf:adfadf11.12.13|1234

now i want the output to be like this only

asdfg1.1.1|98
hjkldfe4.0.3|123
asdzxzvdweradfsdafascv10.0.10|123456789
19980123.asdfgt14:adfjeiop2.0.3|112356
19990124.fasdf:adfadf11.12.13|1234

Guessing that this 8 digit number is always the 1st string you want to have printed and is always 8 digits long:

Code:
sed 's/^.*\([0-9]\{8\}\..*\)$/\1/g' infile
