I want to strip off everything to the left of the release
version so I end up with this.

7.2-RELEASE
7.3-RELEASE
8.0-RELEASE
8.1-RC2

How would I code to do this?

sed -e 's/.* //' < file

assuming there are no trailing spaces on each line.

Another alternative would be to create the list without all that detail:

ls -1


Wow do I feel stupid. You saw through my question to the underlying problem causing the need to strip off that stuff. I just changed the command from ls -l to ls -1 and got what I wanted in the first place.

Thanks
