Removing certain characters in a file

Hi

I have a file that has semicolons in it ( is there a way to just remove these in the file. Example

name: Joe Smith; group: Group1;
name: Mary White; group: Group2;

You can use 'sed' to remove all the ';' from the file:

sed -i.bkup -e 's/;//g' file.txt

Hope this helps.

Thanks I forgot all about sed!
