Default Complicated extraction of text

Hi Everyone,

I have a column of cells containing descriptions of some items (in Sheet1,
Cell B2 downwards), that looks like this:

BLUE GC 201c
RED GW 23c
GREEN9c
GCBROWN12c

I need to extract the cell and put my results in 2 fields.

The 1st (result) field should have value like:
BLUE
RED
GREEN
BROWN

For the above results to appear, i have to lookup on whether these colors
exist in Sheet2!A1:A12

For the second (result) field, the expected fields a
201C
023C
009C
012C

As you can see, i can't think of any logic to cater for this, especially to
get the second result because the description contains too many variable
instances.

Any help would be appreciated
