Thanks for help!
I want to write the digits and actually my full regex in vim is:
/[-0-9]\{13,17\}
I want numbers with 13 to 17 digits even if they have hyphens between the
digits. Should then be something like:
:g/[-0-9]\{13,17\}/t.|s/[^0-9]\+//g|w! >> my.txt | d
I tried this but I get the whole text not just numerical digits (with
hyphens) in a new file.
