Default How can I copy characters from a cell that follow a hypen

I have a cell that has data followed by a hyphen then more data.
EX 12345-ABC456123-more data

I want to copy the first three characters that follow the hyphen so my cell
looks like:

EX ABC

What formula will look to the original cell and remove all the info but keep
the three characters I need?
