Hi,
This regex does what you want:
on foo
put 123-f-78-x0// into x
put replacetext(x,[^0-9],)
end foo
Probably you will need a repeat loop, unless you really just have a list
of 50 phone numbers. In that case you could use
replacetext(x,[^0-9\n],) to modify the entire list at once.
Use replaceText:
put replaceText ( yourData, ^[0-9]*, empty) into yourData

Another version..
put replacetext(tData,(?!\n)(\D),empty)
If there are lines with no numbers at all the list will end up with some
empties, but those can easily be filtered out after the replacetext.
This replaces everything except the newline and digits ( \d matches a
digit, \D matches all
