For example:
0000000111111112222222
00111111111111111111
2222222444444401111111

The awk should only return the first line, not the last two lines.

Interestingly, your sample data has only one ($1) field?

Code:
$ awk '$1 ~ /0{3,}1{3,}/' file
0000000111111112222222

That'd be /000+111+/ if I recall the user requirement correctly, except he wants to specify the min length not in unary!
