Regular Expression Help.

Hi,
I need a regular expression which removes text from|to : and replace with a space from the following string:

abcd2DPM_0361.DSS|1588224: abcdinterv120808wc.doc|28672: abcdDPM_0360.DSS|563712: abcd3_0365.DSS|1565184: Abcd_Last-GK.DSS|771072:

Thanks

var s='abcd2DPM_0361.DSS|1588224: abcdinterv120808wc.doc|28672: abcdDPM_0360.DSS|563712: abcd3_0365.DSS|1565184: Abcd_Last-GK.DSS|771072:';

s.replace(/\|[^:]*\:/g,' '); //replace pipe followed by any number of charaters to and including a single colon, with a space

/* returned value: (String)
abcd2DPM_0361.DSS abcdinterv120808wc.doc abcdDPM_0360.DSS abcd3_0365.DSS Abcd_Last-GK.DSS
*/

Thank you for replying. But I am getting 2 spaces after each name eg abcd2DPM_0361.DSS abcdinterv120808wc.doc. I need only 1 space between each name.
