How do I move to another column, all text from a cell that follows a specific character, such as ":"?

Also, How do I move to another column, all text from a cell that precedes a specific character, such as ">"?

Sorry for reviving. If I have a path /mrexcel/forums/helpme/please and I want to trim a certain amount of path, how do I do that? Example I want to trim after the 3rd "/" leaving me with helpme/please.
