I want to extract data from large group of files based on a regular expression.
Is their an application, script, batch or terminal command to do this?

grep should be what you want. It is very powerful. You can search multiple files for a pattern and you can even select the matcher.
There are many many options so you should really look up its man page I've linked you to.
