Regular expression for 6 digit number present in a line
Hello Team,

if you're using gnu grep, grep -o returns the matched text.
if you don't have gnu grep available try, perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if /(\d{6})/' test1.txt

Thanks,

Got it.

Code:
$ cat test1.txt |sed -n -e 's/.*\([0-9]\{6\}\).*/\1/p'
370956

using awk
Code:
awk '{match($0,"[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]",a);print a[0]}' test1.txt
370956

PS do not cat the file to sed/awk, add file behind, like my example.
