Remove characters before a special character

Hi,

So I have a field which has a '-' at different places within the field. In all cases I want to only show the characters that appear after the -.

For example:-

stu-art   should be    art

s-tuart   should be    tuart

What type of expression can I use to get around this?

Thanks

Stuart

Hi,

Sorry i should have said that the field could be any lenght.

For example we could have

or

ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg-aa
