You are not "trimming" your text, you want to Split it.

Should be enough to solve the problem, my 5, but... yes, it can be called trimming, why not? The ultimate output is the trimmed input...

I can show this in C# and you can convert it to VB, concept is the same...

C#

string input = "hello:world";
string output = "";

if (input.Contains(":"))
{
    output = input.Split(':')[1];   
}

Or...

C#

output = input.Substring(input.IndexOf(':') + 1);
