Hi,
If your actual data are of the same form as your sample data, why not just:
x <- c("PPA 06 - Promo Vasito", "PPA 05 - Cuentos",
"PPA 04 - Promo vasito", "PPA 03 - Promoción escolar",
"PPA - Saluda a tu pediatra", "PPL - Dia del Pediatra")
sub("^.* - ", "", x)
[1] "Promo Vasito" "Cuentos" "Promo vasito"
[4] "Promoción escolar" "Saluda a tu pediatra" "Dia del Pediatra"
