find sequence of 13 digits in file
I need to extract all sequences of thirteen digits in a file, e.g. 4384976350232, and at the same time not extract sequences with 14 or more digits.

How do I do that using sed, awk or something built into bash?

How does your input file look like? how are the fields separated?

Try this...
Code:
awk -F"[{}:,]" '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){if($i ~ "^[0-9]" && length($i)==13){print $i}}}' input_file
