Hey guys, I'm in a spot of bother here and I need your help
I need to filter a string of numbers on a Text Document with over 2000 lines. Good thing is That they have the same amount of numbers, and the first six numbers are the same, Heres a exaple of what I want
[CODE] <bleh>
<blehheader>
href.codingshitidon'tevenknow"=1" else
goto stuff and stuff
codeforsomething="[U]72353163[/U]987"
(327238)
And bout 60 lines of stuff
<bleh>
<blehheader>
(32372)
href.codingshitidon'tevenknow"=1" else
goto stuff and stuff
codeforsomething="[U]72353163[/U]463"
end
[/CODE]
What I want
[CODE]
[U]72353163[/U]987
[U]72353163[/U]463
[/CODE]
So can someone give any suggestions, also, I don't mind if theres even away just to delete the text and only display numbers.
Is there an equal distance (line wise) between them?

Sorry for the Tripost but does can CMSort do this stuff?
Use grep with wildcards. You can find all instances of 72353163*** and replace all or part of the string with something else.

Could you give me a link? I googled "grep" And I have no idea what one it is.
[code]
while(<>) {
if(/(\d{6,})/) {
print "$1\n";
}
}
[/code]

It also comes with use examples.
Although if you want something more heavy-duty Perl is the way for you - twenty years ago and awk would've been recommended.

Brilliant, I got it To show about 180 records (Like I wanted) however it shows the line. I just want the digit, But I could just user Edit plus to delete the other text easly,
Is there any way of saving grep output as a file?
