Search and Replace with "sed

I have a file containung a list. each object in the list has 3 parts, which i will refer as x y z
I need to replace the x y z with the x alone and send it to a different file.
The x size is one caracter but it's value is changing. the y contained the x charecter, so I cant use the simple "sed" values. I found in the "man sed" an argumant that can be set "n=1-2048" but it doesn't seem to work. any ideas?
