what format are pvt keys starting with
0014
I want to sweep these remain keys with some balance in them..but still cant get these out of core wallet in a transaction.
I want to sweep them into electrum but can find what format are they?
Perhaps a worked example will help demonstrate things slightly easier... when you do the
dumpwallet in Bitcoin Core, you will receive a text file that looks something like this at the top:
# Wallet dump created by Bitcoin v0.21.0

and then about halfway down the file... the format will change to something like this:

The 0014 "keys" are not actually keys, as nc50lc noted, they are redeem scripts for your "P2SH" addresses... And, for the purposes of importing to Electrum, they are not required. The standard WIF private keys in the top half are
all that you need to shift to Electrum:
So, as I'm sure you're aware... you use the "Import Bitcoin address or private keys" option:

If you click the "info" button, it will give you some guidance as to which "prefix" you need to use with the WIF private key to generate the address you require:

as you can see... to generate:
- the old style legacy addresses ("1"-type), you use
p2pkh- Nested Segwit ("3"-type), you use
p2wpkh-p2sh- Native Segwit ("bc1"-type), you use
p2wpkhSo, you can either create separate wallets for each type:

Or, you can just create one wallet with all the different types in it:

NOTE: I didn't import the old school legacy (p2pkh) addresses simply because I was in a rush
