I'm using Crystal XI
How do i remove characters from the beginning of a field when it's not always the same amount of characters being eliminated? I only want to display the characters after the last '>' sign.

Input:
Student ID->Name->Bob
Student ID->Address->Arrowhead
Student->City->Waterloo

Output:
Bob
Arrowhead
Waterloo
 
Something like this...

Split(TABLENAME.FIELDNAME},">")[Ubound(Split({TABLENAME.FIELDNAME},">"))]
