Search for a word within a string

Hi Everyone, 

 

I am trying to extract the #pax word from the following strings. 

 

InputOutput
1IFCHK 22.08 COLLAB (6 pax) VC AC6
9HUNTER 9.04 Collab (10 pax) VC AC WB10
1IFCHK 23.14 TEAM (6 pax) VC AC6
1IFCHK23.11TEAM5paxVCAC5
1IFCHK23.12TEAM7paxVCAC7
9HUNTER 9.17 Collab (14 pax) VC AC WB14
1IFCHK 18.05 Shared (6 pax) VC AC6
1IFCHK 18.03 COLLAB (2 pax) VC AC2
9HUNTER 9.09 Collab (8 pax) VC AC WB8

 

 

Notice that some are with () and other are without any space. 

 

I have tried a couple of ways, but I have not been able to achieve the final output. Any clue?

 

Many thanks.
