Check this :
Also, you might have missed the last 12345-23 from the output. As per my understanding, it is a valid Id.
Check if the Regex plugin is deployed in the environment to access regex functions.
Regular Expression Functions

a!localVariables(
  local!input: "testing the emailid's,1234567-45 testing 1234567-9ow2 doing 12 34 567- 2 3 test 12/34,567:- 2.2 tests 12345an67-92 dummy 12345-23",

  local!cleaned: regexreplaceall("[^0-9\-]", local!input, ""),

  local!ids: regexallmatches("\d{5,7}-\d{2}", local!cleaned),

  local!ids
)

Could you share your actual input and the expected output for the same input?

Your text will be this after removing special characters and alphabets. "1234567-45 1234567-92 12 34 567- 2 2 1234567- 22 1234567-92 12345-23"
Still not sure on what basis 12345-05, 123456-06, 1234567-07 series will come along.
Give this code a try as a starter and then apply logic to get the desired series. The output format/logic is unclear to me, so I will leave it till this for you.

a!localVariables(
  local!text: "testing the emailid's,1234567-45 testing 1234567-9ow2 doing 12 34 567- 2 2 test 12/34,567:- 2.2 tests 12345an67-92 dummy 12345-23",
  reject(
    fn!isnull,
    split(
      stripwith(
        local!text,
        "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz!@#$%^&*();',./<>?:"
      ),
      " "
    )
  )
)

hi Harsha Sharma , In the email will get the input like "testing the emailid's,1234567-45 testing 1234567-9ow2 doing 12 34 567- 2 2 test 12/34,567:- 2.2 tests 12345an67-92 dummy 12345-23 "

need to extract the ID's from text after extracting id's then we have to truncate the spaces /alpha letters/special characters then need to format below .

12345-05,

123456-06

1234567-07

Can you give better example of the email id and expected output. How "1234567-45 testing 1234567-9ow2 doing 12 34 567- 2 2 test 12/34,567:- 2.2 tests 12345an67-92 dummy 12345-23 " becomes the below , I cant make sense of it

[quote userid="332938" url="~/discussions/f/general/40400/how-to-extract-the-id-s-from-the-text"]

12345-05,

123456-06

1234567-07
