Is there a way to match numbers that are between repeated characters?

For example to match the numbers in:

Code:

<p class="lorem">.........6.........</p>

<p class="lorem">____8___</p>

<p class="lorem">----------3-------</p>

Something like:

Code:

<p.*?>[_-\]*?\K[0-9](?=[_-\]*?</p>)

Except that would match strings like:

Code:

<p class="lorem">_._--__8..----</p>

and would fail to match strings like:

Code:

<p class="lorem">****8***</p>

when what I'm trying to do is match numbers nested within ANY repeated string of characters.
