Eliminating characters between two expressions
Hi I have to eliminate all characters between ^ and a space in a file.

Following lines -
Test ^ H^@^@^@^@^@^@^B^VDM-BM-$|M-^_M-F^AM- File1
Test^H^@^@^@^@^@^F^A^X^@^SM-s^TM-3M-G^A File2
Should be printed as below
Test File1
Test File2

I used sed '/^/,/ /d' command, but it is not working.

Please help me out.

Thanks & Regards
Sheshadri
