How can I extract only the 30 digit TN number once as the end result?

Currently this does the opposite, where the end $output is everything except the desired tracking number.

$input = "Item/s shipped:

Mug 15oz

TN: 720315589361269903507180163568

URL: https://www.dhl.com/global-en/home/tracking/tracking-ecommerce.html?submit=1&tracking-id=720315589361269903507180163568";

$output = preg_replace('/(?<!\bTN: )\d{30}/', '', $input);

print_r($output);

My Answer:
"Your USPS tracking number is 9400110200882116489923. Please use this number to track your package."

$output = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $input);

echo $output;

// Output: 9400110200882116489923

In this code snippet, we are using a regular expression to extract only the digits from the input string. The preg_replace function is used to replace all non-numeric characters with an empty string, effectively extracting only the tracking number from the input string.
