This script creates a file at first , write numbers to a line and changes to a next line if gets a character other than number. At last, again it sorts out the numbers to a list.

string1 = "hello my name 12 is after 198765436281094and14 and 124de"
f= open("created_file.txt","w+")
for a in string1:
    if a in ['1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0']:
        f.write(a)
    else:
        f.write("\n" +a+ "\n")
f.close()


#desired_numbers=[x for x in open("created_file.txt")]

#print(desired_numbers)

k=open("created_file.txt","r")
desired_numbers=[]
for x in k:
    l=x.rstrip()
    print(len(l))
    if len(l)==15:
        desired_numbers.append(l)


#desired_numbers=[x for x in k if len(x)==16]
print(desired_numbers)
