Extract the part of the String Starting from special character c#

Question

I am trying to extract a part of the string starting from the character '-' . The String looks likes this Aaron,A-5767 I need to get just the 5767, that is extracting part of the string starting from the special character.

I understanding using the below substring function that selects from start of the string to any spl character

sub = str.Substring(0, index)

But how do start from spl the spl character

What is `index`? Maybe you just have your parameters confused... `str.SubString(index);` — musefan, Oct 02 '17 at 15:49
@musefan - I think that should cover it (between the 3 marked dups)... — Igor, Oct 02 '17 at 15:54
@user4912134: Then you need to plus 1 to the index: `str.SubString(index + 1);` — musefan, Oct 02 '17 at 16:02

I'm not sure whether you want an answer using Substring or whether you were just showing something you've tried to produce something similar...

An easy way however would be to use split:

String str = "Aaron,A-5767";
String[] array = str.split("-");
String left = array[0]; //Aaron,A
String right = array[1]; //5767
