Extracting numbers from string

Hi,

I've some example strings:

CS-TZ24SKEW   --> 24

CU-V18RKH-1  --> 18

CS-S24RKH-1  --> 24

CS-XC9RKD-3  --> 9

RS-PS9QK  --> 9

CU-V18RWA  --> 18

CS-KC18QKH-8  --> 18

CU-QA18RKH-8  --> 18

All I want to do is to extract the numeric values as shown on the right side of the respective strings. Is this possible with a couple of lines of code?

Thanks in advance.

S = {'CS-TZ24SKEW', 'CU-V18RKH-1'};

extracted = regexprep(S, '^(\D+)(\d+)(.*)', '$2');
