[sed] extract words from a string
Hi,
One of the scripts creates logs in the format:
progname_file1.log.20100312020657
where after file the number could be from 1 to 28 and after log. the date is attached in the format YYYYMMDDHHMISS
progname_file<1-28>.log.YYYYMMDDHHMISS.
Now I want to discard the .20100312020657 part from the string. Can your give me a command using sed with regular expressions that can to this?
i/p-progname_file1.log.20100312020657
o/p-progname_file1
Thanks in advance.

vxcmdlog
vxcmdlog(1M) vxcmdlog(1M)
NAME
vxcmdlog - administer command logging
SYNOPSIS
vxcmdlog [-H] [-l] [-m {on|off}] [-n number] [-s size]
DESCRIPTION
The vxcmdlog command is used to administer command logging in Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM). This feature can be used to record all VxVM
commands that are issued, and can be used in conjunction with the transaction logging feature (see vxtranslog(1M)).
When the current log file reaches a maximum size, it is renamed as a historic log file, and a new current log file is created. A limited
number of historic log files is preserved to avoid filling up the file system.
Each log file contains a header that records the host name, host ID, and the date and time that the log was created. See the EXAMPLES sec-
tion below for a description of the entries that are recorded in a log file.
OPTIONS
-H Displays detailed help about the usage of the command.
-l Lists current settings for command logging. This shows whether command logging is enabled, the maximum number of historic log
files, and the maximum log file size.
-m {on|off}
Turns command logging on or off. By default, command logging is turned on.
-n number Sets the maximum number of historic log files to maintain. The default number is 5. If number is set to no_limit, there is no
limit on the number of historic log files that are created.
-s size Sets the maximum size to which a command log can grow. (Note that this setting has no effect on existing historic log files.)
The suffix modifiers k, m, and g may be used express sizes in kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes respectively. If no suffix is
specified, the default units are kilobytes.
If size is set to no_limit, there is no limit on the size of the log file.
The size of the command log is checked after an entry has been written so the actual size may be slightly larger than that speci-
fied. When the log reaches the specified size, the current command log file, cmdlog, is renamed as the next available historic
log file, cmdlog.number, where number is an integer from 1 up to the maximum number of historic log files that is currently
defined.
If the maximum number of historic log files has been reached, the oldest historic log file is removed, and the current log file
is renamed as that file.
The default maximum size of the command log file is 1m(1MB).
EXAMPLES
Turn on command logging:
vxcmdlog -m on
Set the maximum command log file size to 512KB:
vxcmdlog -s 512k
Set the maximum number of historic command log files to 10:
vxcmdlog -n 10
The following are sample entries from a command log file:
/usr/sbin/vxdctl mode
/usr/sbin/vxdisk -q -o alldgs list
/etc/vx/diag.d/vxprivutil dumpconfig /dev/vx/rdmp/Disk_4s2
/usr/sbin/vxdisk list SENA0_1
Each entry usually contains a client ID that identifies the command connection to the vxconfigd daemon, the process ID of the command, a
time stamp, and the command that was used together with its arguments. If the client ID is 0, as in the third entry shown here, this means
that the command did not open a connection to vxconfigd.
Note: The client ID is the same as that recorded for the corresponding transactions in the transactions log.
FILES
/etc/vx/log Symbolic link to the log directory. This can be redefined if necessary.
/etc/vx/log/cmdlog Current command log.
/etc/vx/log/cmdlog.number
Historic command logs.
NOTES
If vxcmdlog records the invocation of a vxmake command that reads object definitions from a description file, vxcmdlog additionally records
the contents of the description file.
Most command scripts are not logged, but the command binaries that they call are logged. Exceptions are the vxdisksetup, vxinstall, and
vxdiskunsetup scripts, which are logged.
