Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code, use code tags and align the columns in result.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.
Also always post your Oracle version with 4 decimals.

If you post a working Test case: create table and insert statements along with the result you want with these data then we will work with your table and data.

If only digits are required why not to use REGEXP_SUBSTR
it should work your case.

Who say there is something wrong?

Just a remark with it: if you are multiple numbers in the same string you concatenate them. With regexp_substr you get the first one.

This does not make sense, unless you also want the non-digit part from it.
What does 70 mean? Is it WD? CD? %?

Why in 180 WD 190, 180 190 should not come but 180?

No one says it is what it should come.
