Ah, I knew about the \K to cut things before the match, but I could never find how to cut away the things after. But it exists and it's (?=... Well, better late than never.

Yeah, I've used that too, and that's how I ended with writing the script down: constantly piping things through the second filter with yet another stupid regex that needs tinkering as well... isn't there a way to reuse the first regex, somehow? Hmm, don't the patterns in the sed's "substitute" use the same syntax as the grep does?.. They do! How convenient.
