Regex in php, select everything after a part

I have a string in which I only want the content after '### - '.

Example:

1234 - This is a string with 100 characters

I want to get this out of it: This is a string with 100 characters

I've been trying to get this for a few hours now, but I can't get it to work. I figured this code selected the numbers and the - sign: #^\d+ - # but I want the exact opposite part of the string.

Help is appreciated

You can use this regex:

~^\d+ - (.+)$~

And grab captured group #1

Or using match reset \K:

~^\d+ - \K.+$~

PS: You can also use your attempted regex in preg_replace like this:

$input = preg_replace('#^\d+ - #', '', $input);
