Hi everyone!

I have a field like that:

I need to keep

I don't know how to use the Capital character like a separator and how to keep only this one...
I guess sed could do something like that...

Thanks;)

Using sed ....

# echo "xxxxyyyRfffhhhhh" | sed "s/\(.*\)[A-Z]\(.*\)/\1/"
xxxxyyy
# echo "xxxxyyyRfffhhhhh" | sed "s/\(.*\)[A-Z]\(.*\)/\2/"
fffhhhhh
#

Thanks,
Penchal

Thanks!!

And how to keep the Capital character?

I tried sed "s/\(.*\)([A-Z])\(.*\)/\2/" but it didn't work... Do you have a solution?

sed "s/\(.*\)\([A-Z]\)\(.*\)/\2/" is working!!

Great thank you!
