Suppose I have a file that reads like

sometxt2 somemoretxt5 fgh.TEXTIWANT6.ijk

I want to extract the TEXTIWANTX part and open a file named
TEXTIWANTX.txt by executing a command (hitting a key, whatever) when I
am on a line formatted like that.
You might try something like this:
:nnoremap <f4> :sp <c-r>=matchstr(getline('.'), @/ .
'\d\+').'.txt'<cr><cr>
which, upon hitting <f4> grabs the current line you're on, looks
for the pattern you searched for (tacking on one or more digits),
tacks on the ".txt" extension, and then splits that file open in
a new window. Odd behaviors may exist if you have additional
path separators, file-glob characters, or spaces in your
file-path, but it should handle the bulk of cases.
