Hey Thanks jim. I was half close, the rules sure are tricky.
Lines may or may not have whitespace at the end.

s/\.\d\{1,3}\.\d\{1,3} .*$//    # works on lines with space but NOT on 
ones without.
s/\.\d\{1,3}\.\d\{1,3} ?.*$//  # does not match

But I can trim all whitespace before doing that command so no big deal.
