Pulling out Text without delimiter

Hi,

 

I have a text column where i want to pull a word from the column. There are no delimitors to pull from. For the screenshot, i want to pull either PAT or Auto from column B. The words PAT/Auto are not always at the end of the text value so it is really just pulling the word from anywhere in the value. 

 

Thanks!
