Default Finding a position in a Cell using a formula

Hi,
I'm trying to find a certain data type in a cell and the position it is in.

For example I have a text cell with the following in it "SomePartName
12345 ".

How would i be able to find the first number position in this cell using a
formula?
How would i be able to find the last number position in this cell using a
formula?

The reason i'm looking for something like this is to be able to separate
strings of text which contain the parts name and then a number after it along
with spaces inbetween.

Thanks for the help.
Josh
