print first number in each line

I have a file such as:

.....12345......67890...xxx
....123456....78901...yyy
...1234567...89012...zzz
..12345678.90123...aaa

Where the '.' character is a SPACE.

I'm trying to print just the first number in each line.

such as:

12345
123456
1234567
12345678

Both the number of spaces before the number of interest and the number of spaces after the number of interest are variable.

I have tried several cut -d " " -f(x) file >outfile options with no success.

I'd image this would be done with an 'if then' regular expression lookup.

Such as reading from left if character is a digit print character if not don't. If character in (position -1) was a digit and current character is a space then go to next line.

... or some other command I simply don't know likely exists.


Thank you.

NAME
iswdigit - test for decimal digit wide character SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h> int iswdigit(wint_t wc); DESCRIPTION
The iswdigit() function is the wide-character equivalent of the isdigit(3) function. It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "digit". The wide-character class "digit" is a subclass of the wide-character class "xdigit", and therefore also a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum", of the wide-character class "graph" and of the wide-character class "print". Being a subclass of the wide character class "print", the wide-character class "digit" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl". Being a subclass of the wide-character class "graph", the wide-character class "digit" is disjoint from the wide-character class "space" and its subclass "blank". Being a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum", the wide-character class "digit" is disjoint from the wide-character class "punct". The wide-character class "digit" is disjoint from the wide-character class "alpha" and therefore also disjoint from its subclasses "lower", "upper". The wide-character class "digit" always contains exactly the digits '0' to '9'. RETURN VALUE
The iswdigit() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "digit". Otherwise it returns zero. CONFORMING TO
C99. NOTES
The behavior of iswdigit() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale. SEE ALSO
isdigit(3), iswctype(3) COLOPHON
