How to modify strings by deleting non-essential portions?

[Purdue17]

I am using a Labview driver for a linear stage.  To use this stage, I need for it to output the position which I can get.  However, it outputs the position in a string like the following:

POSITION=-1.2754

>PRINT "POSITION="  POS

How would I get rid of everything except for -1.2754?  Is there some type of deconcatenating feature in Labview?

Thanks!
