Default Find a specific formatted string in a cell

I am trying to determine if a cell has a text string with a specific format.
Example: SO#8058416, PO#LW10179863 Rev2.a
I need to determine if the cell has a string with the format AlphaApha
followed immediately by 8 digits. In the example this would find the
LW10179863.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
