[SOLVED] How can I remove all text after a character in bash?

Issue

How can I remove all text after a character, in this case a colon (":"), in bash? Can I remove the colon, too? I have no idea how to.

Solution

An example might have been useful, but if I understood you correctly, this would work:

echo "Hello: world" | cut -f1 -d":"

This will convert Hello: world into Hello.
