[SOLVED] Find everything after first comma in lines and remove it

Issue

I have a file containing a bunch of lines like this blabla-any-characters**,**numbers-and-characters
I would like to keep everything before the first comma and remove everything else.
Any hint how to do this with awk or sed?
Thanks

Solution

You can use sed like this:

sed -i.bak 's/,.*$//' file

,.*$ will match anything after first comma and will replace it by an empty string.

-i.bak is for inline editing in sed.
