AWK - Print partial line/partial field
Hello, this is probably a simple request but I've been toying with it for a while.

I have a large list of devices and commands that were run with a script, now I have lines such as:

a-router-hostname-C#show ver

I want to print everything up to (and excluding) the # and everything after it
the hostname portion is variable in size so basically I just want to find # and cut it and everything else after it to just end up with:
a-router-hostname-C

if I do a {print $1} I of course cut off the last field of "ver" but still have the "#show" portion.

Thanks in advance!

rpc.bootparamd

RPC.BOOTPARAMD(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					 RPC.BOOTPARAMD(8)

NAME

     bootparamd, rpc.bootparamd -- boot parameter server

SYNOPSIS

     bootparamd [-ds] [-i interface] [-r router] [-f file]

DESCRIPTION

     bootparamd is a server process that provides information to diskless clients necessary for booting. It consults the file ``/etc/bootparams''.
     It should normally be started from ``/etc/rc''.

     This version will allow the use of aliases on the hostname in the ``/etc/bootparams'' file. The hostname returned in response to the booting
     client's whoami request will be the name that appears in the config file, not the canonical name.	In this way you can keep the answer short
     enough so that machines that cannot handle long hostnames won't fail during boot.

     While parsing, if a line containing just ``+'' is found, and the YP subsystem is active, the YP map bootparams will be searched immediately.

OPTIONS

     -d      Display the debugging information. The daemon does not fork in this case.

     -i interface
	     Specify the interface to become the default router.  bootparamd picks the first IPv4 address it finds on the system by default.  With
	     -i, you can control which interface to be used to obtain the default router address.  -r overrides -i.

     -s      Log the debugging information with syslog(3).

     -r      Set the default router (a hostname or IP-address).  This defaults to the machine running the server.

     -f      Specify the file to use as boot parameter file instead of ``/etc/bootparams''.

FILES

     /etc/bootparams  default configuration file

SEE ALSO

     bootparams(5)

BUGS

     You may find the syslog messages too verbose.

     It's not clear if the non-canonical hack mentioned above is a good idea.
