That from

Code:
Node: hstg6so                                  Date: 2013/07/16 17:51:35  GMT

I only want Node: hstg6so.

I tried some sed function but it's not working.


sed -e 's/Date*GMT//g'


But it's not working.
Please suggest a solution.

Hi rdrtx1,

Thanks for reply,

Code is giving syntax error.
One more Point I want to remove this " Date: 2013/07/16 17:51:35 GMT"

In which "Date: GMT" space part is any time that is not fixed.

Try a small adaption to rdrtx1's proposal:
Code:
awk '{sub("Date: " dt "  GMT","")}1 ' RS="" ORS="\n\n" dt="2013/07/16 17:51:35" file

And, post the error msgs should some come up.
