It doesn't actually extract the numbers, so it's not an answer to the question, but in principle you can also do something like for num in $(seq -f '%03g' 1 999); do test -d dialogue${num}||mkdir dialogue${num}; mv -t dialogue${num} DLG${num}-*; done followed by rmdir dialogue* -- the -f '%03g' means all numbers are zero-padded to at least three digits, and since 999 fits into three digits all numbers will become three digits long in the directory names. Plain rmdir fails if the directory is not empty, so is safe. Brace for unimportant error output from mv about nonexistent files.
