Unfortunately there are three problems: the "^t" escape for a tab
character in a sed(1) regex is not sufficiently portable, the
backslashes in the sed(1) command would have to be escaped against
the surrounding double-quotes and the capturing regex also would
capture trailing whitespaces. I see no portable and at the same time
generic enough way to solve this with sed(1). Instead awk(1) works far
more reasonable here, hence I've fixed it with the construct: awk '{
printf("%s", $2); }'
