How to get the numeric part from a string using T-SQL?

I have the following string.

Input
--------------
2030031469-NAI

To get the numeric part, I am using the following script

declare @str varchar(50)= '2030031469-NAI'

Select 
    @str
    ,SUBSTRING(@str, 1,  NULLIF(CHARINDEX('-', @str) - 1, -1))
        ,Left(@str,PATINDEX('%-%',@str)-1)

to get the following output

Output: 
----------
2030031469

Is there any other easy/elegant way of doing the same?

To extract number from an unformatted string

DECLARE @Text NVARCHAR(100)= 'extract only 23124R integer @#%%'
SELECT SUBSTRING(@Text, PATINDEX('%[0-9]%',@Text), PATINDEX('%[^0-9]%',SUBSTRING(@Text, PATINDEX('%[0-9]%',@Text), LEN(@Text)))-1) [ONLY_INT]

In case your string start with alphabet and end with number like ERT-123

you can use this query:

 (select  substring(@str,patindex('%[0-9]%', @str),len(@str)))

Please check with this, i used in my project for extracting phone numbers

 CREATE Function [dbo].[RemoveNonNumericCharacters](@Temp VarChar(1000))
    Returns VarChar(1000)
    AS
    Begin

        While PatIndex('%[^0-9]%', @Temp) > 0
            Set @Temp = Stuff(@Temp, PatIndex('%[^0-9]%', @Temp), 1, '')

        Return @TEmp
    End
