    Extract specific numbers from a string of text

    I need to extract numbers from text, but none of the examples I've found explain what I need.

    If I have this info:
    Can you please look at these orders 5558809034580, 5558809984570, 5558893874590
    There is a problem with order GHRS-293548597
    Please cancel 5558870009700 and see what is wrong with #5558876874350

    How do I get a cell/cells with

    This info:

    5558809034580
    5558809984570
    5558893874590
    GHRS-293548597
    5558870009700
    5558876874350


    The beginning of these would always be the same so, GHRS and 55588
