removing substring from string array [message #53240]

Hi All,

Does anyone know a quick way to remove the same prefix from all
elements in a string array?

Here is an example:
start with string_array = ['dog.spot', 'dog.rover', 'dog.lucky']

and get ['spot', 'rover', 'lucky']

The only way I know I can do this is with a FOR loop and the
STRSPLIT(string_array[i], '.', /EXTRACT) command. I am hoping someone
could help me out with a much more efficient way if there is one.

Thanks in advance,
Ryan.
