Removing everything between : and n

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 23.2006

I’ve got a javascript that goes like this:

[code=php]function removeSpaces(string) {
var tstring = “”;
string = ” + string;
splitstring = string.split(” “);
for(i = 0; i < splitstring.length; i++)
tstring += splitstring[i];
return tstring;
}[/code]

And to tell the truth, I didn’t write this. I just google searched for “Javascript remove spaces”…
But anyway, if I have text like this:

[quote]

1a8f1we6zs94a : ad48
af81ea8af1ge7s : a48a
….etc.

[/quote]

How can I get this, or a similar Javascript to remove the : and everything else up until the point of a line break?
So, that it turns that into

1a8f1we6zs94a
af81ea8af1ge7s

s = s.replace (/:.+?n/g, 'n')

alert (s)

@so_is_thisNov 23.2006 — Might actually want this:
s = s.replace (/s*:[^n]/g, 'n')

@mrhooNov 23.2006 — Simpler:

str=str.replace(/s*:.*/g,'');

the dot character matches everything but a line break

@so_is_thisNov 23.2006 — But, like the original suggestion (which is what I was really pointing out), you're not ensuring that any and all white space before the colon is removed.

EDIT: Ah, I see you added that part 9 hours later. ?
