Delete a semicolon and numbers after a semicolon
I have this:

((9:0.010,(11:0.089,13:0.004))

and I would like this:

((A9,(A11,A13))

How do I delete the semi colon and the number (i.e. 0.010) after the semi colon? Also, how can I add the letter before the number that is NOT removed?

Thank you in advance!
