Problems trimming filename string

[JMPIV4]

I am trying to cutdown similar file names to these

comp - nameabc11 - pr_code11.txt
to pr_code11

comp - nameaaaadbc21 - pd_code21.txt
to pd_code21

I end up getting results like this

- pr_code11
and
c21 - pd_code21


I tried doing this way



--================================================
-- Get Selected Item Number from this Listbox
--================================================
nSelected = ListBox.GetSelected(this)[1];

if nSelected then
--=================================================
-- Getting Original Full name and Path
--=================================================

org_name = ListBox.GetItemData(this, nSelected);

--=================================================
-- Splitting up Path, Name, and Ext
--=================================================

splt_path = String.SplitPath(org_name);

--=================================================
-- Assining the Filename to a varible
--=================================================

file_name = splt_path.Filename

--=================================================
-- Removing the "comp - " out of the filename
--=================================================

rem_comp = String.Replace(file_name, "comp - ", "", false);

--=================================================
-- Find Position number of the next " - "
--=================================================

pos_no = String.Find(rem_comp, "-", false);
--pos_no = String.ReverseFind(rem_comp, "-", false);

--=================================================
-- Creating a new word to the right of the position number
--=================================================

final_name = String.Right(rem_comp, pos_no);


--=================================================
-- Getting Values From INI
--=================================================

price_1 = INIFile.GetValue("myinifile.ini", final_name, "price");
image_1 = INIFile.GetValue("myinifile.ini", final_name, "image");
name_1 = INIFile.GetValue("myinifile.ini", final_name, "name");

--=================================================
-- Set Values From INI To Objects
--=================================================
Input.SetText("Input2", price_1);
Label.SetText("Label1", name_1);
Image.Load("Image2", image_1);

--=================================================
-- Create a global variable and assign a string to it
--=================================================
--current_sel = result1;
gl_image = image_1

--=================================================
-- A Test Just to see results of file renameing
--=================================================
Label.SetText("Label3", pos_no);
Input.SetText("Input1", final_name);
end

Look at the action String.ReverseFind and search for the "-". Once you find it use the returned position and the String.Mid action to cut from there to the end of the line (-1).
