Get from Variable Positions

I have a string of text. Let’s say it’s:

“A0DFS9B0009DF9SJFALDF”

I am looking for a command to look for “B000” and to return the six characters immediatly after it, regardless of where “B000” falls in the string, yielding:

“9DF9SJ”

I know how to strip a string with a fixed placement of characters using the “value.substring(10,16);” command, but I don’t know how to deal with variable position placement.
