Second I want to replace/delete words in a line except the beginning of the
line "ABC*:".
If "ABC*:" is literal text, and you want to delete all the text after it:
M-x replace-regexp RET ^\(ABC\*:\).* RET \1 RET
If it's a regular expression, just use * instead of \*.
If you want to replace the text with something else, use \1 something_else
instead of just \1.
