A very generic question but I am looking for the simplest way solve this very quickly and efficiently
I have a file with a very large number of lines which looks like this
451267 sample1.txt
157444 sample2.txt
134864 sample2.txt
and I want result where the file(same or new) looks like
451267 sample1
157444 sample2
134864 sample2
shell-script awk sed cut paste

The easiest way to do this is with sed I believe.
sed 's/.txt//g' file
This command replaces the pattern '.txt' with nothing.
