Editing Fasta Label with sed

[sfri14]

Hi all,

I am very new to using sed/awk and would like some help with deleting the last character of the labels in my fasta file. Currently, my labels are as follows:

>83_11;size=8364;
ATTCCAGCTCCAATAGCGTATATTAAAGTTGTTGCAGTTAAAAAGCTCGTAGTTGGATTTCTGGCAGGAGCGACCGGTCA

And I need the last semi colon removed in order to use Swarm to cluster OTUs.

>83_11;size=8364
ATTCCAGCTCCAATAGCGTATATTAAAGTTGTTGCAGTTAAAAAGCTCGTAGTTGGATTTCTGGCAGGAGCGACCGGTCA

Thanks so much for any help!

sed "s,;$,,g" file.fa > modified_file.fa
or
sed -i "s,;$,,g" file.fa

Thanks so much - that worked!
