How to remove all words from a matching word in a line?
Hi Guys, Smilie

I have a file like this:

Code:
2010-04-25 00:00:30,095 [ExecuteThread: '191' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default']  INFO - [123456789]]- start process U100M4
2010-04-25 00:00:30,096 [ExecuteThread: '191' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default'] DEBUG - [123456789]] -- call EJB
2010-04-25 00:00:30,709 [ExecuteThread: '191' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default']  INFO - [123456789]- end processU100M4
2010-04-25 00:00:30,710 [ExecuteThread: '191' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default'] DEBUG - got message=Sorry

I want to out put format.

Code:
2010-04-25 00:00:30 INFO - [123456789]]- start process U100M4
2010-04-25 00:00:30 DEBUG - [123456789]] -- call EJB
2010-04-25 00:00:30  INFO - [123456789]- end processU100M4
2010-04-25 00:00:30 DEBUG - got message=Sorry


How do I do this?

Thanks. Smilie

Is the text to delete always begins with "," and ends with "fault']" then try with:

Code:
sed 's/,.*t.]//g' file

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Or:
Code:
sed 's/,[^]]*]//' infile

Code:
cut -c-19,84- infile
