Tools will it always be in same format?

Code:
> echo "/rmsprd/arch01/rmsprd/rmsprdarch72736.log" | cut -d"/" -f5 | cut -d"." -f1
rmsprdarch72736

if you know it will always be ten characters (rmsprdarch), then
Code:
> echo "/rmsprd/arch01/rmsprd/rmsprdarch72736.log" | cut -d"/" -f5 | cut -d"." -f1 | cut -c11-
72736
