Extracting numbers from non-formatted text

Hello,

I have a non-formatted text file from which all those numbers need to be extracted which are exactly 10-digit numbers.

Here is the short version of the file :

*()%
kpm c)ompany 
1234567890
freight carrier 56789
62345
roadway&s 3456781910
invoice STW7228

5. HRM Ï4
gate \ *+*
3498712338 1 2765114
3790000155678 f ^
4462213459 \

The file is txt and is non-formatted. Formating is not needed. Only value of interest are the 10-digit numbers.

How can this be done ?

Try this

str = fileread('test.txt'); % test.txt is the name of text file containing the given text
matches = regexp(str, '\d{10}', 'match')

Result

>> matches
matches =
  1×5 cell array
  Columns 1 through 4
    {'1234567890'}    {'3456781910'}    {'3498712338'}    {'3790000155'}
  Column 5
    {'4462213459'}
