Default Search string for alpha or numeric

I have a text string that looks something like this: "| |- - - Whatever" or
"|- | - - 51250". I'd like to remove the leading characters by searching for
the first alpha or numeric value then possibly using a Mid function to take
everything to the right of that alpha or numeric. What functions can be used
to accomplish this?
