Thread: sed replace string of line

hi,

have file lots of lines that

code:

randomstring | randomstring

and want remove until "|".

ideas how sed/awk?

tia!

been while, not it?

test.txt:

code:

randomstring | randomstring randomstring | randomstring randomstring | randomstring randomstring | randomstring randomstring | randomstring

code:

$ sed 's/.*\(|.*\)/\1/g' test.txt  | randomstring | randomstring | randomstring | randomstring | randomstring

i'm little forgetful on head twisting hieroglyphs of sed though

[edit] but
sed -i 's/.*\(|.*\)/\1/g' test.txt
'in place' editing
