I find it simpler to write macros where there is clean communicating between tex and lua. For example:
\startluacode
userdata = userdata or {}
function userdata.numbersfname(name)
return string.match(name, "%d+")
end
\stopluacode
\define[1]\numbersfname
{\cldcontext{userdata.numbersfname([==[#1]==])}}
\starttext
\numbersfname{abc123}
\numbersfname{\env{fname}}
\stoptext
