Default Removing unwanted characters


I am trying to come up with a formula that will remove any character
that is not a number (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)

I have cells that contain the number of years of employment and want to
standardize it so it is all the same.

This is an example of what I have now:

A1 - 10
A2 - 5yrs
A3 - 1Y
A4 - 15YRS
A5 - 12Yr

I want to make all the cells appear like A1...just the numbers

I am thinking something along the lines of "remove character if it is
not 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9" but I am unsure who to write that.
