Title: Change Character
I want to remove the “:” from a string and replace them with for example either “-” or “ - “ which ever is easier.

This works great (in a new script of its own):

set str to "Zoom - How to get:set in Photoshop  CS?  MESSAGES"
set FinalSTR to RemoveColons(str)


on RemoveColons(Substring)
    set NewString to do shell script "echo '" & Substring & "' | tr ':'  '-'"
    return NewString
end RemoveColons

But when I run it within my script it gives an error cannot continue RemoveColons

I don’t know.
