I'm totally drawing a blank on where to start out on this.

If I have a list of URLs like

How could I use Awk or Sed to strip everything after the .com?  Or is
there a "better" way to do it?


    | cut -d / -f 1-3


Oh boy was that one easy.  It was a BAD mental hiccup.

I'll add a sort and uniq and it should be all ready to go. Thanks!


More than one way to skin that cat! cut is nice'n'easy but since you asked about awk and sed, these would work too:


awk -F/ 'NF > 2 {printf "%s//%s\n",  $1, $3}'

or

sed 's,^\([^/]*://[^/]*\).*,\1,'
