You just want to remove the "comp-"
try that
dim strng as string
dim L as interger
strng = "Comp-Optical"
L = len(strng)
'Comp- make 5 characters '
strng =Right(strng, L- 5)
' at this point strng shoulf be "Optical" '

If you are less tech savy and want a non-coding option, use Text-to-Columns.
Highlight the column with full text names, then on the Data tab of Excel 2007 choose Text to Columns. Delimit by "-" then you will have a column with "Comp" and a column with anything after the "-". Then you can just delete the first column if you want.
