Find everything but version number

i have this text

Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.8
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

58.0.3029 Copyright 2011 Google Inc.

I want is to find everything but

58.0.3029

I use this to find the pattern 

\d+(\.\d+\.\d+)

So I have to find all but, the closest I could make was this 

[\D+]+([\.\D+][\.\D+])

but it excludes other numbers 5.8 and 2011 too which I don't want to happen

Can you help me to find the right regex for that?

I use http://www.regexpal.com/ to test

I'm using a tool that's been developed with C#

If you want to capture everything but the version number, you can use the following:

([\s\S]*)\b\d+(?:\.\d+){2,}\s*([\s\S]*)

Use anchors (in multiline mode):

^\d[\d.]+
# match the start of the line
# require one digit
# followed by digit(s) and dot(s)

And replace the found match with ''. See a demo on regex101.com.

To get everything but the version number:

([\s\S]*)\b(\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\b([\s\S]*)

Replace with: $1$3
