So i made a search string in baregrep that looked like this
character_name_...... and it gave me all the results I wanted, but when I go
to export it gives me the full line every time. All I want to do is export
the numbers after the words character_name_ and before "> is this possible?

Your explanation is inconsistent, but you probably want something like:

sed -e "s/^.*character_name_\([0-9]*\) .*$/\1/"
