Default Find Text within a cell

If it is that simple you change the " vs " to "|"
and then use text to columns under Data, to separate
based on the character delimiter of "|" with no messy
cleanup afterwards to remove formulas and eliminate
the original column.

I'm trying to use the FIND(find_text,within_text,start_num) in
combination with RIGHT(text,num_chars) but i cannot seem to sort it out
so as to come to the desired result!
