Question

I’m trying to write a sed command to remove a specific string followed by two digits. So far I have:

sed -e 's/bizzbuzz\([0-9][0-9]\)//' file.txt

but I cant seem to get the syntax right. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

sed -re 's/bizzbuzz[0-9]{2}//' file.txt

and

sed -re 's/\bbizzbuzz[0-9]{2}\b//' file.txt

if the searched string have word boundary

sed -e 's/bizzbuzz[0-9]\{2\}//' file.txt

if you don’t have GNU sed
