Replaceing [] and white space with sed
how do I replace [] with sed
example: pic001.tif[12] 853x480 to: pic001.tif:853x480 I need to remove [] and its contents and replace it with : , but I cannot get the sed command to recognize [] as a removable object or to print : I have tried disabling it but alas I am running in circles.

you can try something as follows:
Code:
echo 'pic001.tif[12] 853x480' | sed 's/\[[[:digit:]]*]/:/' | sed 's/\s//g' pic001.tif:853x480
