Default substitution: a better method?

I had a column of about 41,000 values. I needed to extract any set of
consecutive integers into separate cells. There could be any number of
letters or symbols between numbers. I did not figure out a way to do this
with the Substitute function.

Is there a method for converting any non-numeric character in a cell into a
single character? I mean, other than Find / Replace?

Examples:
In column Desired results
1234xx789 1234 | 789
xx345xx890 345 | 890
1234567890 1234567890
12x45x78xx 12 | 24 | 78

I've seen a UDF that would strip out all of the non-numeric characters and
leave a number, but I need to treat each consecutive set of integers as a
separate number.
