Default Extrapolate numeric values from text string

Hi,

I need to extrapolate the numeric values from a list of text strings.
However, the numeric portion of each string is not consistent from
observation to observation. Does anyone have any idea about how to do this in
excel.

I.e.

one observation might be
NHY939591C
the numeric portion is
939591

PW086877B
numeric portion is
086877

AB087623
numeric portion is
087623

Your ideas are much appreciated.

Thanks,
Henrik
