Hi,
I believe that the output from the following should be "Sep", not
"28th_Sep". The result can be changed by adding a ".*" to the
start of the search string, but I don't think that that should be
necessary. Removing the trailing ".*" also produces odd results.
Using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
$ echo 28th_September_2014 | sed "s/\(sep\).*/\1/i"
28th_Sep
$ sed --version
