How do I extract house numbers from street addresses when the number of
characters varies.

For example, one address might be "4 Olde Coach Road," another might be "22
Olde Coach Road" or even "138 Cyber Lane" or even "1452 Digital Drive." At
times, there is even the odd "15 L Byte Boulevard."

Ultimately, I need to sort my list by street name, and to do so, I need to
extract the various leading numbers.

Thanks for your help.
