Default Select the first number/numbers in a cell input into another colum

I have a description cell that has variable alphanumeric characters. the
first one to two numbers I would like to copy to another column for the size
of the description
i.e. AA_NAAAa NNN AA N. The number I want is the first number unless the
description shows AANNANN NNNN aAa n, I would want the first two numbers.
these numbers indicate the size of the material. I don't know if a macro
and/or a function would be the best way to go.
