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).
