extracting pattern from every line
My scenario:

1. textfle
2. every line similar to:
"...____ your sister?is1are0am0Grammar point1_______ the chairs in..."
3. need to extract only the numbers in each line, eg 001 in the case above.

Tried different GREP/Sed combinations but...here I am

An output like that would be heaven: "Linenumber 001" (or whatever number combination)

I think in your sample, the result should be "1001". Anyway try this:
Code:
perl -ne '@m=m/\d/g;print $. ." ";print @m;print "\n"' file

try with grep -o option.
see the below example:
Code:
grep -o "[0-9]"  file name

You should use
Code:
 
sed 's/[^0-9]//g' filename

Uf, as I can't figure it out, how could your perl script it be implemented to find any other patterns?

malikshahid85 yes, that would also do, although the line numbers are missing. Great job, man, too!
