sed does not parse your expression for dynamic strings
if you has fixed string then it can be write with sed.
however you can use grep for your needs more sensiblely
Code:
echo "ab01cde234"|grep -o "[0-9]*$" 234
Code:
echo "ab01cde234" | sed 's/.*[a-zA-Z]\([0-9][0-9]*\)[A-Za-z]*/\1/g' 234
Code:
echo "abca121a1b01cde23412zxxx1212aa" | sed 's/.*[a-zA-Z]\([0-9][0-9]*\)[A-Za-z]*/\1/g' 1212

for example
Code:
echo "ab01cde234AA" | sed 's/.*[a-z]\([0-9]*\)$/\1/g' ab01cde234AA
