Formula using IF ISNUMBER and SEARCH functions

Hello there,

 

Is it possible to look (or search) for specific text in a column (Column A), and if that text is found, take the number that is in Column B (same row) and place it in Column C. If the text is NOT found, then take the number that is in Column B (same row) and place it in Column D.

      Hello again,

       It's probably more complicated that the very simple table I previously attached:

      With the more complicated table, the result I want is:

       

       Look for the text OR, or RAILEX (in column B), if FOUND, then take the NUMBER in column C and place it in column D. If OR, or RAILEX (in column B), is NOT FOUND, then take the NUMBER in column C and place it in column E.

       

      Hope this makes sense.
