[SOLVED] How can I get the last number from string in bash?

Issue

Sorry, I'll explain it better

How can I get the last number from string?

Examples of generics strings:

If str=str1s2
echo $str | cmd? 
I get 2

If str=234ef85
echo $str | cmd? 
I get 85

 If str=djfs1d2.3
echo $str | cmd? 
I get 3

"cmd?" is the command/script that I want

Solution

All you need is grep -Eo '[0-9]+$' :

gv@debian:~$ echo 234ef85 |grep -Eo '[0-9]+$'          ## --> 85
gv@debian:~$ echo 234ef856 |grep -Eo '[0-9]+$'         ## --> 856
gv@debian:~$ echo 234ef85d6 |grep -Eo '[0-9]+$'        ## --> 6
gv@debian:~$ echo 234ef85d.6 |grep -Eo '[0-9]+$'       ## --> 6
gv@debian:~$ echo 234ef85d.6. |grep -Eo '[0-9]+$'      ## --> no result
gv@debian:~$ echo 234ef85d.6.1 |grep -Eo '[0-9]+$'     ## --> 1
gv@debian:~$ echo 234ef85d.6.1222 |grep -Eo '[0-9]+$'  ## --> 1222
