You still haven't said why you can't use ed or ex for this. The following code is much simpler than anything you can do with awk or sed:
But, of course, this depends on using a shell that uses Bourne shell syntax and may be depending on a particular version of ed (depending on what OS you're using). Telling us what OS and shell you're using anything you start of thread in these forums allows people trying to help you avoid making wild assumptions about your environment and helps you get an answer that will work in your environment faster.

echo 'String#1 and String#2' | egrep -o -m 1 'String#.{1}'
String#1

Thanks! (5 Replies)

CHEATMAKE(1) [FIXME: manual] CHEATMAKE(1)NAME
cheatmake - fool make into not rebuilding certain files
SYNOPSIS
cheatmake [hidechangefile] [show] [whyfile]
DESCRIPTION
cheatmake is used to save time when recompiling. It can fool make into skipping files that haven't changed in a meaningful way. This can be
used for instance when you change a comment in a file but none of the actual code.
This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
OPTIONS
hidechange file
Hides the fact that file was changed by setting the timestamp into the past. Use with care!
show
Lists what files make currently needs to rebuild
why file
Explains why make must rebuild file
ENVIRONMENT
One of the following variables (but not both) should be set if the source directory is different from the build directory. If the build
directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory, the simpler variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used.
OBJ_SUBJDIR
Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of the source directory. For instance, if the source directory is
kdesdk and the build directory is kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then OBJ_SUBDIR should be set to obj-i386-linux.
OBJ_REPLACEMENT
A sed expression that is used to transform the source directory into the build directory. For instance, if the source directory is
kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT should be set to s#kdesdk#kdesdk-obj#.
