Default Challenge Parsing characters in a String

My problem is: I'm trying to parse out certain text patterns from the
first column cell to the second column cell if that cell contains those
patterns, if not nulls the cell. The text string in the first column
cell does not contain any spaces, commas, hashes or normal patterns
that you can lock onto for filtering. Tried building an Array but
having problems with the filtering. My previous attempts to do this
haven't workedand I haven't managed to find work arounds using other
functions.

The patterns I need to parse on are ## - #S, # - #S, RG###, -FO and
several others.
Example: 24-2S, 2-2S, RG142, FO
All the cells in the first column are the ones I need to look at.

Example:
Columns
--------------------------------------------------
Rows |AB2021A24-2S | |
|-------------------------|----------------------|
|AB2022A2-2S | |
|-------------------------|----------------------|
|BC2003ARG142 | |
|-------------------------|----------------------|
|IP1070A22-4S | |
|-------------------------|----------------------|

Thank You,
VectorZ
