I write to you because of the workflow you shared. I hope you will be able to help me. In essence, I have lots of text like that below. The first line of the paragraphs contain a percentage and a colon (eg 16.7%:). I want a workflow that removes it (the percentage and colon). See below - before the hoped for work flow AND after using the workflow.

Below see Text before workflow processing

16.7%:
This view is no longer tenable against the background of the increased
awareness of investors of the implications of bid situations

96.7%:
This Rule shall not apply in a case


Now see the above Text after workflow processing

This view is no longer tenable against the background of the increased
awareness of investors of the implications of bid situations

This Rule shall not apply in a case
