    taking end text from a long string of text and "."

    Hi guys, bit stumped with this problem right now. I have a bunch of these following below which I need extract text from the first "." from the right hand side.
    The amount of text and "." can vary as does the number of characters.

    XXXXXXXX.XXXXXX.XXXX.XXX.XXXXX.XXXXXXXXXXXXX.XXXXXXXXXX.Vibrating Screen SC409
    XXXXXXXX.XXXXXX.XXXXX.XXXXX.XXXXXXXX.XXXXXXXXXX.Scalping Circuit 4
    XXXXXXXX.XXXXXX.XXXXXXX.XXX.XXXX.XXXXX.Fines Stacker ST601

    ultimately i want it to display the following:
    Vibrating Screen SC409
    Scalping Circuit 4
    Fines Stacker ST601


    I have used LEFT, RIGHT, SEARCH, LEN functions in various combinations but cant get it to reference the last "." from the right.

    Any help will be appreciated !
