Question How to omit a part of the string
I have a file, f1 with content:

File f1:
Code:
abc_English_Dlr
def_123_English_Dlr
qwe_98_yu_English_Dlr
dsw_1_English_Dlr

I want to remove "_English_Dlr" from it.

I used cut command but the problem is there may be a case for getting 1 or more fields before _English_Dlr . So Cut command is useless.

Can oneone help me this using SED ??

Thanks!
