Default Extract a number(s) from a text string


I have an single column of data (see below) that randomly has numbers
inserted at the beginning of the text. The database unfortunately cannot
be altered at this time, so I'm stuck. I need this data in two columns.
Obviusly "text to columns" won't work, or I wouldn't be asking for help.


Anyone have any suggestions?
