ACC Expression Help - String after character

Can anyone tell me the best way in the expression editor to capture the numbers after a specific character.  For example, if the values is 1234-5678.  I want to keep only the characters after the dash(5678).  I tried some of the built in functions but have not had any luck.  Thanks!

    Hi,

    Use these built-in functions:

    Substring(@field, Charindex(@field, '-') + 1, Length(@field))

    Thanks,

      Hi @jonathon_wodnicki - Following on this question, as we have a similar but more complex requirement. We can have the string as 1234-5678-abcd or 1234-5678-abcd-0101

      The text can increase in the right, and out objective is to find the text everything before the last dash, e.g. 1234-5678, or, 1234-5678-abcd

       

      Any suggestions to resolve this using built-in functions in the Enrichment activity?

       

      Thanks

      This worked perfectly, thank you.  My understanding of the way Substring worked was not correct.
