[SOLVED] Clean Up file in Bash

sedna06 · 03-03-2014, 09:08 AM

Hello Guys,

I have a file with the following located in there

/home/adversion/web/wp-content/plugins/akismet/index1.php: PHP.Mailer-7 FOUND
/home/beckydodman/web/oldshop/images/google68274020601e.php: Trojan.PHP-1 FOUND
/home/resurgence/web/Issue 272/Batch 2 for Helen/keynote_Philip Baldwin (author revise).doc: W97M.Thus.A FOUND
/home/resurgence/web/Issue 272/from Helen/M keynote_Philip Baldwin.doc: W97M.Thus.A FOUND
/home/skda/web/clients/sandbox/wp-content/themes/editorial/cache/external_dc8e1cb5bf0392f054e59734fa15469b.php: Trojan.PHP-58 FOUND

what I need is to be able to clean this file up by removing everything after the :

so that it looks like this.

/home/adversion/web/wp-content/plugins/akismet/index1.php
/home/beckydodman/web/oldshop/images/google68274020601e.php
/home/resurgence/web/Issue 272/Batch 2 for Helen/keynote_Philip Baldwin (author revise).doc
/home/resurgence/web/Issue 272/from Helen/M keynote_Philip Baldwin.doc
/home/skda/web/clients/sandbox/wp-content/themes/editorial/cache/external_dc8e1cb5bf0392f054e59734fa15469b.php

any help would be appreciated
