Default working with data

I'm using excel 2002. I get a report from a database with the format: "1x
#02-0001/56 ProductA 3x #04-0003/87 ProductB 1x 02-0009/65 ProductC" in one
cell. Where the number before x is the quantity sold, the rest are product
numbers and descriptions. What would I use to answer the following
questions... find all ProductB and return the Quantity (in this case,
quantity is 3). The product may appear in any order and any quantity in the
cell. Thanks for your help.
