extract string portion using sed

Hi All

I have 3 files as listed below and highlighted in bold the portions of the filenames I need to extract:
TOS_TABIN218_20090323.200903231830
TOS_TABIN219_1_20090323.200903231830
TOS_TABIN219_2_20090323.200903231830

I tried
source_tabin_name=`echo $fname | sed 's/_[0-9].*[0-9]//'`

but I only get
TOS_TABIN218
TOS_TABIN219
TOS_TABIN219

The TOS TABIN218 is correct but both Tabin219 are missing the _1 and _2 respectively.
.. any how to get the extra _1 and _2

Thanks in advance

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color set_color - set the terminal color Synopsis set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR] Description Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple, cyan, white and normal. o -b, --background Set the background color o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names o -h, --help Display help message and exit o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode o -u, --underline Set underlined mode o -v, --version Display version and exit Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal. Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color. Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator. set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue. Version 1.23.1 Sun Jan 8 2012 set_color(1)
