How to strip non numerical data out of file?
Hi,
How can I remove all non numerical data from line, so I don't want to delete the line but to have only the numbers.
e.g.:
#########
123
aaa124
125bbb
126
127
#########
So I want all the leading and trailing non numerical stuff(letters/white space/tabs anything else except [0-9]) stripped.
So from above I would get:
#########
123
124
125
126
127
#########
Thanks a lot for your help!
