Default Extracting Numbers froma Text String

Hi...I have a problem I've been working on for a while now...to no avail.

a2=200865346120565131TED STOCK THIGH HIGH XL 3922

I'm managed to get to

a2=2008653461
b2=20565
c2=13
d2=131ted stock thigh high xl 3922
e2=ted stock thigh high xl 3922

Problem is D2 - I need the one after the three...

It is not consistent in the database...

But what is consistent is I need the one right before the text begins (some
times it may be up to three numbers) all located before the text.

Any help would be great!

Thanks
