If Count specifies more characters or elements than are available,
only the characters or elements from S[Index] to the end of S are
returned.

So if the Count is MaxInt you get what you want
- personally I would wrap it in a function called something like
CopyResidue( Start, S )

Even better :
StrExtResidue( TheStr, TheDelin, CountOfTheDelin )

eg: S := StrExtResidue( SrcStr, ',' , 2 )

OverLoad it for: S := StrExtResidue( SrcStr, ',' )

Very useful library routines.
