Default Copy string of characters

=TRIM(IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("HW",A1)),MID(A1,FIND("HW", A1),8)&"
"&IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("HW",A1,FIND("HW",A1)+1)),MID(A 1,FIND("HW",A1,FIND("HW",A1)+1),8),""),""))

Have a variation to a previous question:
Need to copy a string of characters from one cell to another. Here is what
the cell looks like:

Cells:
A1 = Some text, HW012345, more text, HW034567, more text
A2 = Some text
A3 = Some text, HW056783, more text, HW035791, more text

In column B I need the following result:
B1 = HW012345 HW034567
B2 = (blank)
B3 = HW056783 HW035791

Thanks for any help
