erasing portion of line with sed
hi,
I'm trying to use sed to erase everything, and including the ending parenthesis. For example:
input: blah blah blah (12355)this is what i want.
output: this is what i want.
how would i do this?
i found an example online that does the opposite:
sed \"s|test.*||g\" file1 > file2";
but when i reverse it, it doesn't do anything. Any ideas?
thanks,
gammaman

Hi,
This is more a theoretical question, because I usually solved that with perl or even java, but I would like to know if it exists an easy way to do it with SED.
Using regular expresions it's very easy to select an portion line. Does it exist an easy way for printing those portions in SED?... (1 Reply)

time::duration::parse
Time::Duration::Parse(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Time::Duration::Parse(3pm)
NAME
Time::Duration::Parse - Parse string that represents time duration
SYNOPSIS
use Time::Duration::Parse;
my $seconds = parse_duration("2 minutes and 3 seconds"); # 123
DESCRIPTION
Time::Duration::Parse is a module to parse human readable duration strings like 2 minutes and 3 seconds to seconds.
It does the opposite of duration_exact function in Time::Duration and is roundtrip safe. So, the following is always true.
use Time::Duration::Parse;
use Time::Duration;
my $seconds = int rand 100000;
is( parse_duration(duration_exact($seconds)), $seconds );
FUNCTIONS
parse_duration
$seconds = parse_duration($string);
Parses duration string and returns seconds. When it encounters an error in a given string, it dies an exception saying "Unknown
timespec: blah blah blah". This function is exported by default.
