Remove large part of string up to first '+' character

$

Hi,

 

I have a source file from which a certain colomn needs to be cleaned.

 

The strings in that column are composed as follows <string part a> + <string part b> + <string part c>.

part b and c have little variation and is section I'm interested in. That needs to be written to an SQL database, for further processing

 

How can I remove the first part of the string, including the '+' character and store it cleanly in the database. 'Part a' has a lot of variation. So it has to remove all before and including the first + (there can be more, so it has to be the first one). Can this be solved with a certain RegEx - formula?

thanks for your time and assistance.

regards

James Effix
