Remove single @ on line from file
Hi All,


So I have to remove all the @hostnames from a file, the problem is, there are instances where @ is used for other things... For example:


example text:
Code:
@This is some text in between some at signs@
@This is some more text@
This is a line that will contain a username and his/her email - me@somehost.com
This is another email line - you@anotherhost.com

I need to remove the text after the @somehost.com and @anotherhost.com but leave the two previous @ bla bla bla @ lines.


Heres what I have tried:


Code:
cat * |egrep -v '@.*@'|sed 's/@.*/@REDACTED/'

This kind of works, but I need all the lines intact


Code:
sed 's/@.*/@REDACTED/'

This just removed all the test after the @. This would be ok, but we would like to have the other lines if possible - we do just want to secure the file from having hostnames.



Not sure how to accomplish this. Any advice would be appreciated.


Thanks!
Joe

update-metainit

UPDATE-METAINIT(1)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					UPDATE-METAINIT(1)

NAME

       update-metainit - Generates init scripts

SYNOPSIS

       update-metainit [--remove initname [--purge] ]

DESCRIPTION

       Metainit solves the problem of writing good init scripts. Instead of manually creating these important files, they are derived from a
       declaritive description in the metainit files in /etc/metainit. These files can be shipped with packages or created by the local adminis-
       trator.

       If update-metainit called without argument, it will regenerate init scripts for all the files in /etc/metainit. The generated files contain
       a large warning in form of a comment that they will be overridden. Modifications are preferably done in the files in /etc/metainit and made
       effective by running update-metainit. If needed, the administrator can prevent modified init files by removing the warning comment.

OPTIONS

       --remove initname
	   This command will remove any generated and non-modified scripts that were created by the metainit file with the name initname.

       --purge
	   Only usable with --remove. Will remove the generated files even if modified.
