IF Object_id('tempdb..#temp') IS NOT NULL

DROP TABLE #temp
select 1 id, 'hello 123 fff 1234567 and today;""o999999999 tester 44444444444444 done' strlist

into #temp

union all

select 1 id, 'hello 654 olk k uu 7654321 and today 222222222 tester 222222222444 done'

union all

select 2 id, 'syat 123 ff tyui( 1234567 and today 999999999 tester 44444444444444 done' strlist

union all

select 2 id, '&**OOOOO=+ + + // ==?7654321// and today [][]!!222222222\\\tester{}))222222222444 done'

--results should look like the below

--1, 1234567

--1, 999999999

--1, 44444444444444

--1, 7654321

--1, 222222222

--1, 44444444444444

--2, 1234567

--2, 999999999

--2, 44444444444444

--2, 7654321

--2, 222222222

--2, 222222222444

Something readable:
IF Object_id('tempdb..#temp') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #temp select 1 id, 'hello 123 fff 1234567 and today;""o999999999 tester 44444444444444 done' strlist into #temp union all select 1 id, 'hello 654 olk k uu 7654321 and today 222222222 tester 222222222444 done' union all select 2 id, 'syat 123 ff tyui( 1234567 and today 999999999 tester 44444444444444 done' strlist union all select 2 id, '&**OOOOO=+ + + // ==?7654321// and today [][]!!222222222\\\tester{}))222222222444 done' --results should look like the below --1, 1234567 --1, 999999999 --1, 44444444444444 --1, 7654321 --1, 222222222 --1, 44444444444444 --2, 1234567 --2, 999999999 --2, 44444444444444 --2, 7654321 --2, 222222222 --2, 222222222444

This is easy using the Pattern Splitter by Chris Morris that can be found on the following article: Splitting Strings Based on Patterns - SQLServerCentral

Here's the code that you can use once you've got the function.
SELECT id, Item FROM #temp CROSS APPLY dbo.PatternSplitCM(strlist,'%[0-9]%') s WHERE LEN(s.Item ) > 6 AND s.Matched = 1;
