Here are a few different approaches:
s <- "this1is2a3test44of extraction"
tmp <- gsub("[^[:digit:]]", " ", s)
scan(textConnection(tmp), what = 0)
tmp <- gsub("[^[:digit:]]", " ", s)
spl <- strsplit(tmp, " ")[[1]]
as.numeric(spl[spl != ""])
library(gsubfn)
strapply(s, "[[:digit:]]+", as.numeric)[[1]]
