Regular Expression Help [Java]

So i'm trying to write a regular expression to help me pull id numbers from a string, the input would look something like:

"Product Name" stock=6 sid=0x000000000034c000 pid=0xd70

What I'd like is a regular expression that I could enter that would return just the pid value (and one for the sid value too). The problem is I can't be sure the pid or sid will always be the same length, so rather than the input above I might get an entry that says:

"Different Product Name" stock=45 sid=0x000000000034c000 pid=0xa11713

So in the first one I'd like the expression to cut out 0xd70 and in the second one I'd like it to cut out 0xa11713. If it is any help I know that the pid is never more than 8 characters long after the 0x, and that the sid is never more than 16 (I'm not sure if shipping id can be shorter than 16 or not).

I'm new to using regular expressions, and I've figured out hot to match then number entry when I know the length, but I can't figure it out for a variable length.

input1: "Product Name" stock=6 sid=0x000000000034c000 pid=0xd70
input2: "Product Name" stock=6 sid=0x000000000034c000 pid=0xa11713
regex: pid=.....
output1: pid=0xd70
output2: pid=0xa11 <-- missing 713

Thanks for the help.

setpgid

setpgid(3)						     Library Functions Manual							setpgid(3)

Name
       setpgid - set process group (POSIX)

Syntax
       #include <sys/types.h>
       int
       setpgid(pid, pgrp)
       pid_t pid, pgrp;

Description
       The  function is used to either join an existing process group or create a new process group within the session of the calling process (see
       Upon successful completion, the process group ID of the process that has a process ID which matches pid is set to pgrp.	If  pid  is  zero,
       then the call applies to the current process. In addition, if pgrp is zero, the process ID of the indicated process is used.

       This function is available only in the POSIX environment.

Return Values
       The  function  returns 0 when the operation is successful.  If the request fails, -1 is returned and the global variable indicates the rea-
       son.

Diagnostics
       The function fails and the process group is not altered if one of the following occurs:

       [EACCES]       The value of the pid argument matches the process ID of a child process of the calling process and  the  child  process  has
		      successfully executed an function.

       [EINVAL]       The value of the pgrp argument is less than zero or is not a supported value.

       [EPERM]	      The process indicated by the pid argument is a session leader.

		      The  value of the pid argument matches the process ID of a child process of the calling process and the child process is not
		      in the same session as the calling process.

		      The value of the pgrp argument does not match the process ID of the process indicated by the pid argument and  there  is	no
		      process with a process group ID that matches the value of the pgrp argument in the same session as the calling process.

       [ESRCH]	      The  value  of  the  pid	argument  does	not  match the process ID of the calling process of a child process of the calling
		      process.
