Using sed:

echo '119198421682C4' | sed -E 's/([0-9])[^0-9]+([0-9])/\1\2/g'
echo '11919AA23B3' | sed -E 's/([0-9])[^0-9]+([0-9])/\1\2/g'

If you want to just remove everything that isn't a number replace all matches of [^0-9] with the empty string. In Javascript (for example) that would look like:

'11919AA23B3'.replace(/[^\d]/g, '');

\d is just a short form for [0-9]. When I run that in Chrome's console I get: "11919233"
