Regex capturing group not working

[lynnsong986]

Hello,

I have a string like
1-38

I need to capture the “38”.

here is the assign:
Match = Regex.Match(“1-38”,“(?:\d+\s?-\s?)(.+)”)
but Match.Groups(0) returns 1-38 though when I test it in the configure regular expression, it does highlight 38 in yellow.

please help, thank you so much in advance
