Ok, I've changed to:
:g/[-0-9]\{13,17\}/t.|s/^[0-9]\+//g|w! >> my.txt | d
I still not just get the 13 to 17 digits strings. You say it will copy all
the lines that starts with digits. I don't want the whole line just the
digit string, not what follows with exception if it's another 13 to 17
digits string.
