help in deletion part of a line

	Is there an easier way by sed or ed to remove strings 
	(caight by grep) of the sort:

	part5.chapter2.text-

	where "5" and "2" can be any integer
below 10?

	(I know how to delete the *entire* line using ed, but not
just
	the first part?

	thanks,

	gary

gilmour% echo testpart5.chapter2.text-test | sed
's/part[0-9].chapter[0-9].text-//g'     
testtest

Modify as necessary.

$ echo 'part5.chapter2.text-' | tr -d '[0-9]'
part.chapter.text-

$ echo 'part5.chapter2.text-' | sed 's/[0-9]//g'
part.chapter.text-

	Thanks.   I was able to get rid of things likie -567-[text]
from
	^, but the part[1-5]. --- OH::: I didn't escape the
"."

	Duh::: hit myself in the forehead! ... slinking away... .

	This would help unify my regex since I have
"part7.chapter4.text"
	as well as misc other shtuff.  (I like tr ... it's easy and
has
	many uses... .)

	thanks.
