Scripting - Delete characters

[Krish_4]

Hi,

I want to delete letters between , and :. For example, ZDm1dl1Wy6sRg,7/hQ: . Between , and : there may special characters,alphanumeric etc..
The pattern is not same in all the lines. Is it possible to acheive this using sed or awk?

Thanks.

str="ZDm1dl1Wy6sRg,7/hQ:
echo $str | sed 's/,.*://g'

Read str from your input file.
