Code:
echo $line | sed -e 's/\.[a-z]*$//'
.. might need a tidy up but it should get you started

Code:
sed 's/\.[^.][^.]*$//' file
general format of command:
sed 'program' input-file

program enclosed in single quotes to prevent expansion by shell.

format of program:
s/regular-expression/replacement-string/
  • s = substitute command
  • \.[^.][^.]*$ = regular expression
  • replacement string is empty, so matched text is removed from pattern space

more information:

Code:
man sed
if using GNU sed then also see:

Code:
info sed
or http://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manu...ode/index.html
