Hi,

I've been trying to search through the community but can't seem to get what I need.  In the below table, under "Machine", I am trying to just pull out the model #s but they are not in consistent locations in the string.  Can someone help in pulling these out?

 

Machine[new] Model # Onlyneed
07E4h Probably Evo 510 510
HP Compaq dc7100 SFF(PS026US) 7100
HP rp5800 5800
HP RP5 Retail System Model 5810 5810
HP Compaq dc7800 Small Form Factor 7800
HP Compaq dc7100 SFF(PS026US) 7100
HP RP5 Retail System Model 5810 5810

 

Thanks in advance!
