TextPad regex to clean up document

[Babscoole]

Looking for some help with regex. I've a text document that I need to extract some information out of, while discarding the rest. It's made more difficult by the fact that data is line wrapped. What I need is any instance of six digits (numbers) in a row. All instances of this are also surrounded by single quotes if that helps. Snippet of the data pasted below:

Good sample of "before" data, Please example of the "after" data thay you want.

[Babscoole]

Looking for an end result like:

251374
251375
227430
227433
251473
251474
251477
251478

I pretty much want to dump everything except the six digit number strings.

Thanks.

Here is a three step solution. (Could make into a macro and assign a hot key to do with one key....)

Step 1 ( prepare to make consistent lines.)
Search for: \n
Replace with: nothing

Step 2 (make consistent lines)
Search for: \*\* Error
Replace with: \n** Error

Step 3 (extract the six digits)
Search for .*([0-9]{6}).*
Replace with: \1

Use the following settings:
-----------------------------------------
[X] Regular expression
Replace All
-----------------------------------------
Configure | Preferences | Editor
[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax
-----------------------------------------
