Default Select 3/4 digit numbers from text

I have a column with text. I'd like to retrieve all of the 3 and 4
digit numbers from it and put it into new column(s). For example:

The 5 kids ate 348 hot dogs - 348
3248 kids ate 4000burgers - 3248, 4000

Is there a way of doing this using Excel commands?

Jeff
