Guys

Huge thanks for your suggestions.

I have copied RagDye's solution and it works perfectly. Must admit,
however, I don't understand some of the functions used.

What, in particular, does the 99^99 refer to?!

I have an extensive list of vehicle registration plates in column A of a
worksheet. They are in various formats but mostly:

NNNLLL
LLLNNNL

How would I go about extracting just the numbers from the registrations?
ie; for registration 123ABC I just want to return '123', or ABC456D I need
'456'

Thanks.
