Doing a sed on a variable help !

Hi,

So what I'm trying to do is

I have these variables and if they have a dot in them , I want everyting before and including the dot removed.

Any ideas ?

Something like this I would want :

$var = $var | sed 's/.*\.//'

but that does't work.

I want to save that removal $var because it will be used later on in the script

Thanks for any tips if you have them
