How to select the numbers?

[Eric]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to select the numbers within a string?
For example, in cell A1, there is a string 6023 - 10056. I would like to
retrieve any number before "-" in cell B1, it should return 6023, and I would
like to retrieve any number after "-" in cell C1, it should return 10056.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Eric

=--TRIM(LEFT(A2,FIND("-",A2)-1))

and

=--TRIM(MID(A2,FIND("-",A2)+1,99))

Select the second part values i.e, after hyphen values |
