Problems with awk/sed

Hi There,

Maybe someone could help me with this:

# cat file | awk ' /26/ {print $2}'

127.0.0.1/26

Q: Hot do i filter out the subnet part= /26 so the result is:

127.0.0.1

Thanks in advance

many ways

awk:
- sorry, i don´t know awk

sed:
# cat file | sed s/\/26//

cut:
# cat file | cut -d '/' -f 1

bash (from my experience works only inside a script, not on the command line or at least you need a lot of escapes then...):
FILE=`cat file`
FILE=${FILE##/26}

(test also with only one # and with one % and with %%, i always mix them up and i am too lazy too look it up right now )

works just fine!.. Thanks a'lot
