Default Find numeric value at end of string

Let's say I have a string that looks like this

C:\Documents and Settings\me\[test 2-2006.xls]Sheet1

I want to extract the DATE prior to .xls. I can get to this:
C:\Documents and Settings\me\[test 2-2006

It is possible that the filename would have numbers in it prior to the date.
I'm trying to figure out a way to get to the last SPACE in the string. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Barb Reinhardt
