Hi Guys,

I was wondering if any of you knows how to grab data after a specific character. Right now, I have a comment field that has various information in it.

the field is called {misc_comment}

here is the way the data is laid out:

00VISA 2 /IN: 20120125
00DENTALCENTER /IN: 2012APRIL
00AMAZON/IN: 557878

I am trying to grab the data after ":". For example, on these three fields I would like:

20120125
2012APRIL
557878

Does anyone know the formula for this? Any help would be appreciated.
