You absolutely correct .it works but i must find a way to make it work with unicode. I use cygwin to test it, but because the characters are in greek i could get the correct result. So i tested in shell like that
Code:
echo "12:00 OD:OD") | sed 's/\([A-Za-z]\):/\1./g'

and worked. Now i have to see how to make it work from batch using greek letters.

Anyway, thanks for the time and the correct answer
