Stregex question - extracting substring [message #87007]

I am trying to extract a substring after a colon. My string looks like:

xxxxxx:yyyyyyyyy

where x's can be spaces, upper and lower case letters

then there's the colon

and finally the y's, which can be pretty much anything and will often include colons (which is why strsplit("xxxxxx:yyyyyyyyy", ":") won't work for me here)

I just want the yyyyyyyyyy part and have been trying to extract it with stregex, but no luck. But before I give up and will try a different approach, does anyone know how to construct a regular expression for IDL that would extract just the yyyy.. part with stregex?

Thanks for your time.
