With any standards-conforming version of awk, one could also use:
Code:
awk -F_ '{print substr($0, 1, length - length($NF) - 1)}' file

which produces the output:
Code:
01_enable_input_hol
01_abc_copy_ld_sat
01_abc_mavcd
01_abcdef_oa
01_fdgte_symbol
01_fsdfsd_clean
01_fsdfd_create_mut

Note, however, that the 2nd line of the output differs from the output you requested:
Code:
001_abc_copy_ld_sat

If you really want the output you requested in post #1 of this thread, you're going to have to explain the conditions under which the extra leading zero is to be inserted.

NAME
paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango SYNOPSIS
paps [options] files... DESCRIPTION
paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves through the pango ft2 backend. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. --landscape Landscape output. Default is portrait. --columns=cl Number of columns output. Default is 1. --font=desc Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12. --rtl Do rtl layout. --paper ps Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter, a4. Default is A4. --bottom-margin=bm Set bottom margin in postscript points (1/72 inch). Default is 36. --top-margin=tm Set top margin. Default is 36. --left-margin=lm Set left margin. Default is 36. --right-margin=rm Set right margin. Default is 36. --help Show summary of options. --header Draw page header for each page. --markup Interpret the text as pango markup. --encoding=ENCODING Assume the documentation encoding is ENCODING. --lpi Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing. --cpi Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size. --stretch-chars Indicates that characters should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops behaviour. AUTHOR
