Default Removing text

Hello-

Is there a simple macro already written that removes text from cells? My
situation has me importing data into a spreadsheet from another
application. This application stores time information, a duration of
time, with the corresponding unit, hours, days, etc. For example, 2 hrs,
1 hr, 5 days, 1 day, etc. Unfortunately this is also how it imports into
Excel. And, I'm actually doing a copy-paste, not an import.

It's useful for me to add the durations. In order to do this, I can
think of only one way, to remove the text that represents the unit.
Having not worked with the macro language in Excel, I'm curious if there
is code already written to do this.

Thanks.
-Kurt
