Im trying to write a Perl script that reads a text file containing telephone numbers in the form 00000-000000 (eg 05234-927951)
and then copies the numbers to a seperate text file. can anyone offer any advice, how should i detect the numbers?
The file would contain various text as well, such as names, addresses etc. i just want to extract the numbers which will all be in that form, 5 numbers, - 6 numbers = 00000-000000
also if possible id like to write some details to the text file such as:

total numbers found,

the number of times each phone number was found, incase the same number is repeated

total number of unique telephone numbers found in the file and
