@Scrutinizer: true my command did print out numbers more than 23 in length.
the above command should work perfect as square brackets wont be in delimiters always so the awk command wont work in all occasions.
I am kinda confused as to why we are using single quotes in a grep expression. Cos I was reading the other day that single quotes remove any meaning from the special characters. Shouldn't we use double quotes?
Also the fact the you have used <,>. Are they working as a block to extract only 23 digits numbers/characters?
[..]
Hi dsid
The single quotes are better at protecting the regular expression from the shell, than double quotes, so that is why I prefer to use them. When you read that they remove any meaning from the special characters, they meant shell special characters, not regex special characters ...
\< and \> are word boundary operators and match the empty string at the beginning/end of a word respectively..
So if the 23 digits are enclosed by anything other than word characters ( [0-9A-Za-z_], or more precisely: [[:alnum:]_] , including the start or end of a line) then it will match the 23 digits.

EMPTY-PAGE(1) ExactImage Manual EMPTY-PAGE(1)NAME
empty-page - empty page detector of the ExactImage toolkit
SYNOPSIS
empty-page [option...] {-i | --input} input-file
empty-page {-h | --help}
DESCRIPTION
ExactImage is a fast C++ image processing library. Unlike many other library frameworks it allows operation in several color spaces and bit
depths natively, resulting in low memory and computational requirements.
empty-page counts dark pixels of a black and white image and decides with a threshold whether the page is most probably empty, and thus can
be removed from the image processing stream.
OPTIONS -i file, --input file
Read image from the specified file.
-m n, --margin n
Set width of border margin to skip. For speed reasons, the margin has to be a multiple of 8. The default is 16.
-p x, --percentage x
Set fraction of permissible dark pixels. The default is 0.05 (5%).
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
EXAMPLES
$ empty-page -i test.tif
The image has 75461 dark pixels from a total of 1060992 (7.11231%).
non-empty
EXIT STATUS
The exit status is 0 if the image is mostly white, 1 otherwise.
