I am VERY rusty with regular expressions and need one to extract a hostname

  • 0

I am VERY rusty with regular expressions and need one to extract a hostname from a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), here’s an example of what I have:

myhostname.somewhere.env.com
myotherhostname.somewhereelse.insomeotherplace.byh.info

and I want to return

myhostname
myotherhostname

Would really appreciate some help

I tried "(.+)\." but it matched the string from the right and produced:

myhostname.somewhere.env.
myotherhostname.somewhereelse.insomeotherplace.byh.
