AWK with multiple delimiters
I have the following string sample:
bla bla bla [123] bla bla

I would like to extract the "123" using awk.

I thought about awk -F"[\[\]]" '{ print $1 }' but it doesn't work

Any ideas ?

efte

eFTE(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   eFTE(1)

NAME

       efte - Text editor

SYNOPSIS

       efte  [[options] files ...]

       vefte [[options] files ...]

       nefte [[options] files ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the efte.

       This  manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have
       a manual page.  Instead, it has documentation in html format; see below.

       efte is a powerful text editor which closely resembles Borlands programming editors for M$-DOS, but is far more flexible and configurable.

OPTIONS

       efte uses a command line syntax, which is a little bit different from most of Debian GNU/Linux apps.

       -h -? --help
	      Help on command line options.

       -!     Ignore any external configuration file and use internal configuration.

       -l<line>[,<column>]
	      Go to line (and column) in next file on command line.

       -#<line>[<,column>]
	      Same as -l. Do not use this option.

       -m[<mode>]
	      Set mode for next files to <mode>. If just plain -m, then use default mode.

       -C[<.cnf>]
	      Use specified configuration file (compiled). Plain -C does the same as -!.

       -D[<.dsk>]
	      Load/save desktop from file <.dsk>. If no argument, disable desktop load/save.

       -H[<.his>]
	      Load/save history from file <.his>. If no argument, disable history load/save.

       -T<tagfile>
	      Load 'tagfile' at startup.

       -t<tag>
	      Lookup tag 'tag' and display file containing it.

       --     The rest of the arguments are not options, but filenames.

       -+     The next argument is not an option even if starting with a '-'.  Useful when loading files that begin with a -.

       -noxmb Do not use XMB functions in xefte - useful if you have incorrect locales and you want to use just english fonts.

       -font  Select XWindow font to use with xefte. See VIOFONT also.

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES

       This is list of variable which might change behavior of some internals of efte.

       VIOFONT - select font used by xefte

       ISOCONSOLE - when set, vefte is usign ascii symbols to draw tables. This is useful when iso latin charset is used on console.

EXAMPLES

       efte -mBIN /usr/bin/vefte
	      load /usr/bin/vefte in BIN mode

       efte -mBIN -+ -bla-
	      load file -bla- in BIN mode

       efte -l100,30 win.c
	      go to (100,30) in win.c

       efte window.cpp
	      load file window.cpp

       efte -- -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6
	      load files -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6

       efte -D -H efte.dsk efte.his
	      disable desktop and history loading and saving and load files efte.dsk and efte.his

FILES

       ~/.efterc
       /usr/local/etc/efte/system.fterc
       /etc/efte/system.fterc

       Default configuration files. Includes all keybindings and menus compiled with cefte(1) from  config  files  in  /usr/share/doc/efte/config-
       example.tar.gz.
