Zsh oneliner to Extract part of string until and including token

Question

I need a solution in zsh

I have a string like http://xxx.abc.mp3?yyy:mno. Is there a one-liner in zsh that can extract the string until mp3, that http://xxx.abc.mp3? I can do this in bash, but I needed a way to do it in zsh.

Answer 1

You didn't say how you did it in bash, but the same substitution works with both shells:

str='http://xxx.abc.mp3?yyy:mno'
printf "%s\n" "${str/%\?*}"

Removes the text that matches a question mark and 0 or more characters until the end of the string.
