Default Extracting from a text string


Hello everyone :)
Hope someone can help with this question....

I have a field containing a text string, for exampe: "1 : 1.3".
I want to be able to extract the 1.3 and show it in a separate column
using a function. Is this possible ?

The characters before the " : " can be any string length, but following
the ":" the number I want to extract is always 2 places behind the " :
".
Does this make sense ?
Hope it does, and thanks for your help !
Amy xx :)
