Reading from string only past a specific point.

[freemmaann]

I need to read from strings past a specific key point. For example:

"RandomPieceOfAString_mark_ANumber"
"AnotherRandomPieceOfTheString_mark_ABool"
"YetAnotherStringPiece_mark_AString"

How do I read everything past the "_mark_" no matter what the string starts with?

[Flapadar]

string.sub(str , string.find(str , "_mark_") , string.len(str))

[Kogitsune]

segment = str:match( "_mark_(.+)$" )

Thanks, Ill try both ways.

The pattern's better.
