Trimming output
I'm trying to parse an output log and I've managed to reduce the output to the lines I need. But I'm having trouble pulling out only the info I'm interested in. The output is 40+ lines and here is a sample

Code:
		Installing AppFresh 0.8.5.pkg from ./InstallerFiles/CustomPKG/26 (26)
		Installing BatChmod 1.51.pkg from ./InstallerFiles/CustomPKG/27 (27)
		Installing Fetch 5.5.pkg from ./InstallerFiles/CustomPKG/28 (28)
		Installing Onyx 2.1.pkg from ./InstallerFiles/CustomPKG/29 (29)
		Installing Stuffit 2010.pkg from ./InstallerFiles/CustomPKG/30 (30)
		Installing TextWrangler 3.0.pkg from ./InstallerFiles/CustomPKG/31 (31)
		Installing Timbuktu Pro Enterprise Es 8.8.pkg from ./InstallerFiles/CustomPKG/32 (32)

I'm only interested in package name

Code:
AppFresh 0.8.5.pkg
BatChmod 1.51.pkg
Fetch 5.5.pkg
Onyx 2.1.pkg
Stuffit 2010.pkg
TextWrangler 3.0.pkg
Timbuktu Pro Enterprise Es 8.8.pkg

I figured I can trim the front with

Code:
sed -e 's/^ *[^ ]* //'

But I can't figure out how to trim excess off the end of each line.

Any help would be appreciated
