try:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
input=$1
echo ${input}                      # echos the full input
echo ${input//[0-9]/}              # echos the digits found within the input

This assumes all digits are together within the input.

edit...
Sorry, I didn't pay attention... this only extracts the numbers.

plszax

PLSZAX(3plplot) 						    PLplot API							   PLSZAX(3plplot)

NAME

       plszax - Set z axis parameters

SYNOPSIS

       plszax(digmax, digits)

DESCRIPTION

       Identical to plsxax(3plplot), except that arguments are flags for z axis. See the description of plsxax(3plplot) for more detail.

       Redacted form: plszax(digmax, digits)

       This function is used in example 31.

ARGUMENTS

       digmax (PLINT, input)
	      Variable	to  set  the  maximum number of digits for the z axis.	If nonzero, the printed label will be switched to a floating point
	      representation when the number of digits exceeds digmax.

       digits (PLINT, input)
	      Field digits value.  Currently, changing its value here has no effect since it is set only  by  plbox(3plplot)  or  plbox3(3plplot).
	      However, the user may obtain its value after a call to either of these functions by calling plgzax(3plplot).

       Geoffrey  Furnish  and  Maurice LeBrun wrote and maintain PLplot.  This man page was automatically generated from the DocBook source of the
