I need this result with blank lines because the result should match with the original cvs. Otherwise data from different lines get mixed up.
The resulting data wil be used for a new column added to the original

I added the cvs I use for the testing

What is expected output for the given sample ?
In case if you expect newline to be printed for the line which does not content digits, you may try below command
Code:
awk -F ";" '{print match($19,/[0-9]+.*/)?substr($19,RSTART,RLENGTH):""}' /Users/jb/Desktop/ReorderTempTotal.csv

cvs-debrelease

CVS-DEBC(1)						      General Commands Manual						       CVS-DEBC(1)

NAME

       cvs-debrelease - upload a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

SYNOPSIS

       cvs-debrelease [cvs-debrelease options] [--dopts [dupload/dput options]]

DESCRIPTION

       cvs-debrelease  is run from the CVS working directory after cvs-buildpackage or cvs-debuild.  It uses the cvs-buildpackage system to locate
       the .changes file generated in that run.  It then uploads the package using debrelease(1), which in turn  calls	either	dupload  or  dput.
       Note  that  the	--dopts  option  must  be specified to distinguish the cvs-debrelease options from the dupload or dput options.  Also, the
       devscripts configuration files will be read, as described in the debrelease(1) manpage.

       Note that unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify the source package name is with the -P option; you cannot simply have it as  the
       last command-line parameter.

OPTIONS

       All  current  cvs-buildpackage options are silently accepted; however, only the ones listed below have any effect.  For more details on all
       of them, see the cvs-buildpackage(1) manpage.  All debrelease options (as listed below) are also accepted.

       --dupload, --dput
	      This specifies which uploader program to use; the default is dupload.

       -adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
	      See dpkg-architecture(1) for a description of these options.  They affect the search for the .changes file.  They  are  provided	to
	      mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the name of the .changes file.

       -Mmodule
	      The name of the CVS module.

       -Ppackage
	      The name of the package.

       -Vversion
	      The version number of the package.

       -Ttag  The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.

       -Rroot directory
	      Root of the original sources archive.

       -Wwork directory
	      The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.

       -xprefix
	      This option provides the CVS default module prefix.

       --no-conf, --noconf
	      Do not read any configuration files.  This can only be used as the first option given on the command-line.

       --help, --version
	      Show help message and version information respectively.
