Need Help in awk script

[ranjank]

Hi,

I need to filter the one ouput.Folowing is the output.

ranjan.abc.1122

I want to filter only ranjan.abc only.Is there anyway in awk or sed thru which i can accomplish it.

--Ranjan.

Using cut:

ls -ltr ranjan.abc.1122 | cut -f1,2 -d '.'

Or with sed:

[tt]echo ranjan.abc.1122 | sed 's/\.[^.]*$//'[/tt]

Or with awk

[tt]echo ranjan.abc.1122 | awk -F"." 'BEGIN{OFS="."}{print $1,$2}'[/tt]

Thanks with both options it is working.But the problem is i'm getting the output twice when i do it on a file.

E.G

ranjan.abc
ranjan.abc

I want only one occurance and then put that in a varaible.Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

--Ranjan.

What's in the file?

Well in file there are two lines which contains ranjan.abc.XXX

--Ranjan.

Instead of echo use head -1 to get the first line of the file I guess.
