Default How to separate text and numbers in one cell or column?

Hi,

I have a column of cells which are in any of the following formats:

x #
x x #
x x x #

where x could be any number of characters (a-z or A-Z) either upper or lower
case.
# could be a 1,2 or 3 digit number 0-9

I generally have to post process this file in UNIX before I import it into
excel and do some modifications.

Is there an easier way to do this in Excel? I don't mind copying the column
and post processing one column to retain numbers and another column to retain
text.
