Query to get only numbers from a string

I have data like this:

string 1: 003Preliminary Examination Plan   
string 2: Coordination005  
string 3: Balance1000sheet

The output I expect is

string 1: 003
string 2: 005
string 3: 1000

And I want to implement it in SQL.

First create this UDF

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_GetNumeric
(
  @strAlphaNumeric VARCHAR(256)
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(256)
AS
BEGIN
  DECLARE @intAlpha INT
  SET @intAlpha = PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', @strAlphaNumeric)
  BEGIN
    WHILE @intAlpha > 0
    BEGIN
      SET @strAlphaNumeric = STUFF(@strAlphaNumeric, @intAlpha, 1, '' )
      SET @intAlpha = PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', @strAlphaNumeric )
    END
  END
  RETURN ISNULL(@strAlphaNumeric,0)
END
GO

Now use the function as

SELECT dbo.udf_GetNumeric(column_name) 
from table_name

SQL FIDDLE

I hope this solved your problem.

Reference

Try this one -

Query:

DECLARE @temp TABLE
(
      string NVARCHAR(50)
)

INSERT INTO @temp (string)
VALUES 
    ('003Preliminary Examination Plan'),
    ('Coordination005'),
    ('Balance1000sheet')

SELECT LEFT(subsrt, PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%', subsrt + 't') - 1) 
FROM (
    SELECT subsrt = SUBSTRING(string, pos, LEN(string))
    FROM (
        SELECT string, pos = PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', string)
        FROM @temp
    ) d
) t

Output:

----------
003
005
1000

Query:

DECLARE @temp TABLE
(
    string NVARCHAR(50)
)

INSERT INTO @temp (string)
VALUES 
    ('003Preliminary Examination Plan'),
    ('Coordination005'),
    ('Balance1000sheet')

SELECT SUBSTRING(string, PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', string), PATINDEX('%[0-9][^0-9]%', string + 't') - PATINDEX('%[0-9]%', 
                    string) + 1) AS Number
FROM @temp
