D2:D4D2=rx(B2)


VBA Code:
Function RX(s As String)
Dim SD As Object:   Set SD = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
With CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
    .Global = True
    .Pattern = "INV#: (\d+)"
    Set matches = .Execute(s)
    For Each m In matches
        SD.Add m.submatches(0), Null
    Next m
End With

For Each itm In SD
    RX = RX & itm & Chr(10)
Next itm

RX = Left(RX, Len(RX) - 1)

End Function

Another way:

Excel Formula:
=MAP(B2:B4,LAMBDA(array,
LET(
a,TRANSPOSE(TEXTSPLIT(SUBSTITUTE(array,CHAR(10)," ")," ")),
b,a="INV#:",
c,SEQUENCE(ROWS(a))*b,
d,FILTER(c,c<>0)+1,
TEXTJOIN(CHAR(10),,INDEX(a,d,0)))))

I tried this: =TEXTJOIN(CHAR(10),TRUE,TOROW(LEFT(TEXTAFTER(TEXTSPLIT(B2,CHAR(10)),": "),8),2))

with Wrap Text in the column.
