One more way to get expected output

Code:
$ cat <<eof | awk 'gsub(/[[:alpha:]]|[[:punct:]]/,x)'
n<>the<>96427210 861521305 123257583 
n<>obj<>79634223 861521305 79634223 
n<>nmod<>68404733 861521305 68422718
eof

96427210 861521305 123257583 
79634223 861521305 79634223 
68404733 861521305 68422718

for file use like this
Code:
$ awk 'gsub(/[[:alpha:]]|[[:punct:]]/,x)' file

OR
Code:
$ tr -d '[[:alpha:]]|[[:punct:]]' <file

OR
Code:
$ tr -cd '[:digit:]  \n' <file
