I have a table os which contains below data

1 windows server 2012 R2
2 windows 2016 SQL
3 Oracle linux 7.5


I need to extract 2012 R2 from windows server 2012 R2 and 2016 SQL from windows 2016 SQL and 7.5 from Oracle linux 7.5



I tried below query but it returns only the number like 2012 and 2016 and 7



SELECT name, substring(name FROM '[0-9]+') FROM os;
