Your {foo} to {bar} example has a more-efficient solution:
ci{
"Change inside curly-braces."
Works for quotation marks and brackets, too:
ci" or ci' or ci[ or ci<
You can be on either of the grouping characters or anywhere inside them.
Also, your ct= can be replaced with ce ("Change to end")

Delete up to a quote mark later in the line:
That surely does it. Thank you both, very much.

In normal mode, consider "deleting with motion": dt" or df"
--Suresh
Moving to the next " is f" and the f motion is |inclusive| so df" should do it.
See ":help f" (without the quotes).

I've a common problem that I've never been able to find a solution for.
With a sample script line like the following:
printf "A(%14s), B(%s), C(%14s), D(%14s), E(%14s), F(%3s), G(%-24s),
H(%4s), I(%14s), J(%s),",
