sed on AIX and HP-UX

Hello all,

I'm facing this issue in my attempt to use sed to extract a variable number from a string

I do have something like this:

file_fruxt0000006_5300-12_20140601152
file_fruxt0000036_6100-12_20140601

I'd like to extract the last number from the string

Does

Code:

echo file_fruxt0000006_5300-12_20140601152 | sed 's/.*_//'

give the desired result?

Yes, thanks

meantime I realized I can use awk -F_ '{print $NF}'

Or just:

Code:

X='file_fruxt0000006_5300-12_20140601152'; echo "${X##*_}"
