Sed/grep questions

Hi. I have a txt file. I need to make a copy of the lines which are beginning with a mobile phone number, or a fix phone number. I have to copy thoose lines in numbers.txt, after that i have to delete then from the originally file. In numbers.txt i need to write a prefix before each number. if the number is mobile phone number, the prefix will be MOBIL: , if the number is a fix number, the prefix will be FIX: FInally i have to count the number of mobile phone numbers, and the fix phone numbers.

*=number
fix phone numbers could be: 02**-****** or 02**/******
ex:0268-123456 or 0234/123456
fix numbers are beginning with 02

mobile phone numbers could be: 07**-****** or 07**/******
ex:0742-123456 or 0734/123456
fix numbers are beginning with 07

if I have x.txt:
Code:
asdas 
gfdgfdgdsg  sddsf
0268-123456 asd
0745/123456
123 dasdas
0723-456778

then numbers.txt will be:
Code:
FIX: 0268-123456
MOBIL:0745/123456
MOBIL:0723-456778

and the x.txt will be:
Code:
asdas 
gfdgfdgdsg  sddsf
123 dasdas

count of mobile numbers=2; count of fix numbers=1

Try

Code:
awk '/^02/{print "FIX:",$1 > "numbers.txt";next}
	/^07/{print "MOBIL:",$1 > "numbers.txt";next}
	{print}' x.txt > temp

mv temp x.txt
