Hi guy,
Could understood your string a to string b, may this could work.
Code:
$ a="test1.props,test2.props,*,test3.props,?,test4,props"
$ echo $a|awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){if($i~/[*?]/){$i=a[FR]++?","$i:$i;printf "%s",$i}}}' FS=','
*,?

But seems like that string c is same as string a. So what's the meaning of your "remove * ?"

   mutate_attributes ( args => $hashref, props => $hashref, type => 'str' )
       A hook for running a second command from within a command without having to use the commandline argument parsing.

       If "type", "uuid", or "primary_commands" are not passed in, the values from the previous command run are used.

   cmp_regex
       The regex to use for matching property key/value separators.

   $ID_REGEX
       The regex to use for matching the id argument (luid / uuid).

   setup_from_args
       Sets up this context object's arguments and key/value pairs from an array that looks like an @ARGV.

   parse_args @args
       This routine pulls arguments (specified by --key=value or --key value or -k value) and properties (specified by --props key=value or --
       key=value) as passed on the command line out of ARGV (or something else emulating ARGV) and sticks them in "args" or "props" and "prop_set"
       as necessary. Argument keys have leading "--" or "-" stripped.

       If a key is not given a value on the command line, its value is set to undef.

       More complicated separators such as =~ (for regexes) are also handled (see "cmp_regex" for details).

   set_type_and_uuid
       When working with individual records, it is often the case that we'll be expecting a --type argument and then a mess of other key-value
       pairs.

       This routine figures out and sets "type" and "uuid" from the arguments given on the command-line, if possible. Being unable to figure out a
       uuid is fatal.
