Once again my little gray cells are not working at all.

I have a script which deletes all the words/characters before colon " : "?



tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" 
	set theChangeText to "" 
	tell parent story of selection 
		repeat with i from 1 to count of paragraphs 
			try 
				set contents of text from character 1 to (character 1 whose contents = ":") of paragraph i to theChangeText 
			on error 
				try 
					set contents of text from character 1 to (character 1 whose contents = "?") of paragraph i to theChangeText 
				end try 
			end try 
		end repeat 
	end tell 
end tell



?but how could I also delete space character after the colon?

Kari
