How to cut part of line?

Question

I need to cut line in specific moment, I want to display GPU name, but only name, nothing else.

inxi -Gx | grep Device showing:

Device-2: NVIDIA GK107GLM [Quadro K1100M] vendor: Dell driver: nouveau

I want it to show something like this

NVIDIA GK107GLM [Quadro K1100M]

How to cut this to show only name? Is there a way to print range, in this case from word Device to word vendor.

Something like:

D=$(inxi -Gx | grep Device)
if [[ $D =~ ^Device-2:([[:print:]])vendor:([[:print:]])driver:([[:print:]]*)$ ]]
then
  echo "Found Device: ${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
else
  echo "Did not find device"
fi

inxi -Gx | grep -oi nv.*]

inxi -Gx | awk '/Device/{print $2,$3,$4,$5}'

inxi -Gx | grep Device | cut -d ':' -f 2 | sed 's/ vendor//'

This cuts the output into fields using ":" as a delimiter, then it gives you the second field. Use sed then to strip the specific word off the end.

If you know the length then you can cut a range using cut, see man cut for details.
