Default find beginning of line to first space?

Hello all,

I have some cells that look like this

1 One
02 Two
003 Three
4 Four
000005 Five

and I am looking for a way to cut and paste the number into a new
column. I am guessing I should search and select anything from
the beginning of the line to the first space. I could then cut this
value and place it elsewhere.

I am not certain how to perform this kind of search in Excel though?
Could someone give me an example of how to search from the beginning of
a cell to the first space?

TIA,

Lance
