OK, how about a STREGEX solution:

str = ['xxxxxxx:yyy', 'xxxxxxx:yyyyyyy', 'x:yyyy'] ;define the string array

yStrColon = STREGEX(str, ':.+$', /EXTRACT) ;get everything past the colon, including the colon

yStr = STRMID(yStrColon, 1) ;strip the colon

About that regular expression:

: get the substring starting with the colon
.+ get one or more instances of the "dot" (so, any character)
$ anchor at the end of the string
