Default Find text in free-format text field

,I'm using Outlook 2003.

I have a column containing free-format text values. (Example: "HNSMUPP
requested authority of ICIEMERG for reason HNSMUPP ICIEMERG 1026382 - RST
OF GUS, CMC FROM AFTSAVE. 03/07/09 06:51 QPGMR I5IPRD2A"). I need to find and
extract the 7-digit numeric value (in this example: 1026382) into another
cell.

Any suggestions? Can this be done with Excel built-in functions?

Thanks.
