Filter line in a script

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Team,

I am trying hard to find a way I can filter a line as below:

If I have a line as

/abc /def 123:/ghi /jkl 456:/mno /pqrs 7890:/tuvw /xyz

I am expecting my output to be as below:

/abc /def /jkl /pqrs /xyz

basically I want to ignore anything preceding or succeeding colon (":") from a line.

Please help.

Please, try:
perl -pe 's/\s\d+:\/\w+//g' SiddhVi.file

sed approach:

sed 's/\(^\| \)[^ ]*:[^ ]*\( \|$\)/ /g' file
/abc /def /jkl /pqrs /xyz
