Don't know whether this requires a "sed" and/or an "awk" solution. I have
strings in a log file whose only important info for a digest are new strings
containing the date, time, and the remainder of the line following the first
occurrence of a hyphen. All delimiters are spaces until the first hyhpen
(there may be multiple hyphens but I only care about the first).
Here is what the original line looks like:
date time txt1 txt2 txt3: txt4 txt5 txt6 txt7 domain-email
Here is what I'm looking for:
date time partFollowingHyphen1
Presuming date and time have no spaces, untested:
sed 's/^\([^ ][^ ]* *[^ ][^ ]*\) [^-]*-\(.*\)/\1 \2/'
You'll have to show us an example line if that doesn't work.
