If anyone else has any other ideas I would appreciate it, like find
the "+" and give me everything to the right of it.

Perhaps if you give some real examples where you tried the attempted solutions,
and show us your original data; how you implemented the recommended solution;
the actual result and the desired result, some one could figure out a proper
solution.

But what you've been repeating has not made clear why the recommended solutions
won't work.
