Replace first existence of any character using DOS

Hi

I want to replace first existence of the character
code I m using is

Code:

 
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (test2.csv) do (
set str=%%a
echo !str::=,! >> test3.csv
)

However it is replacing all the ':' whereas I want to replace first ':' by ',' and leave rest of the ':' as it is.

Pls help.
Suggestions are welcome.

NAME

       MARC::Charset::Code - represents a MARC-8/UTF-8 mapping

DESCRIPTION

       Each mapping from a MARC-8 value to a UTF-8 value is represented by a MARC::Charset::Code object in a MARC::Charset::Table.

METHODS

   new()
       The constructor.

   name()
       A descriptive name for the code point.

   marc()
       A string representing the MARC-8 bytes codes.

   ucs()
       A string representing the UCS code point in hex.

   charset_code()
       The MARC-8 character set code.

   is_combining()
       Returns true/false to tell if the character is a combining character.

   to_string()
       A stringified version of the object suitable for pretty printing.

       Returns a hash code for uniquely identifying a Code by it's UCS value.
