Remove Colons and Slashes from 2nd Token
I would prefer to use Sed, but I will do whatever necessary. I want to know a good way to remove ":" and "/" from the first string surrounded in Double quotes, but not the 2nd.

Current File:
Code:
"9781238274584-Ace of Spades: The Poop" "Ace of Spades: The Poop" ...

Desired:
Code:
"9781238274584-Ace of Spades The Poop" "Ace of Spades: The Poop"  ...

Nobody can recommend a way to remove a colon or slash between the first set of double quotes, but leave the string in the second and third sets of quotes alone?
