Default extracting specific info from text cell.

I have a data file that has a column of data with entry inputs that are not
the same.
For instance:
Range 4-113 might be in one cell, and
4-110 Row 3 in a following cell.

I want to extract into a new column the "4-110" type information. I can't
use len, find, left, mid combination because it will work for the cell
containing "Range 4-113", but not for the one "4-110 Row 3." There are 9000
rows of data and I don't want to sort through the different combinations and
create formulas for each. So my thinking is either a complex formula that is
eluding me, or possibly some VBA code. I am a novice VBA user so kind of
stuck. Since this data is automated and updated from time-to-time, I was
hoping for something that I could use going forward.

Thanks for any help that can be provided!
