basic cat replace string
trying to exclude hostnames ending in "s" from a host file:

Code:
# cat hosts
ssef
ssefd
ssefsfff
ssefsfs
# for x in `cat hosts`; do echo "${x/*s}" ;done
ef
efd
fff

#


How can I echo/or not echo only 'ssefsfs' ??

thanks

Code:
 sed -n "/s$/! s/s.*s//p" file

To print lines ending with s
Code:
sed -n "/s$/p" file

To print lines without s at end
Code:
sed -n "/s$/! p" file
