I'm trying to tidy a script by removing the names of the characters.
Each one in the text is followed directly by a colon or by a space and a colon.
So , the search would find colons preceded by text characters making single words.
It would find
John:
Sarah:
Steven:
Helen:
and delete each one.
It would also find
John :
Sarah :
Steven :
Helen :
and delete.
It wouldn't find colons with numerical characters or spaces on either side.
So it wouldn't find
21 : 21 : 00
or
21:21:00
Can someone advise a search and replace to satisfy this?
Grateful for any help...
