Answer 1

You can use the edit in place sed option and the star selector like so

sed -i '/begin 644/,$d' *.txt

Answer 2

You can use this find with sed:

find . -maxdepth 1 -name '*.txt' -exec sed -i.bak '/begin 644/,$d' {} + 

Or if you want to keep begin 644:

find . -maxdepth 1 -name '*.txt' -exec sed -i.bak -n '1,/begin 644/p' {} + 

Answer 3

Just use in-place version of sed as

sed -i '/begin 644/,$d' file1.txt
