Welcome to forums, I hope you will enjoy learning and sharing knowledge here. Could you please try following and let me know if this helps you.
Code:
filename="libvclient_release_x64.so.740"
val=$(cut -d"." -f3 <<<$filename)
echo $val
740

EDIT: Adding this solution after seeing your POST#2, let me know if this helps you.
Code:
awk 'FNR==1{if(name){close(name)};split(FILENAME, a,".");print a[3];name=FILENAME;nextfile}' libvclient_release_x64.so.*

Thanks,

Glad that it helped you. You could HIT THANKS button at left most corner of each post if you find any post useful. Off course above will not work for every file name. Since you have provided pattern specific file patterns so I had written as per that file name(s). You may need to change the pattern of file(s) in case your name changes too.

Let me know if you have any queries on same.

Thanks,

I am trying to use this in my ebuild:
Code:
lvcltno=awk 'FNR==1{if(name){close(name)};split(FILENAME, a,".");print a[3];name=FILENAME;nextfile}' \
           opt/VServer/vcomponents/libvclient_release_x64.so.*

dosym libvclient_release_x64.so."${lvcltno}" "${EPREFIX}/usr/$(get_libdir)/libvclient_release_x64.so"

but it does not work, the symlink is not created properly:
Code:
libvclient_release_x64.so -> libvclient_release_x64.so.

It seems that that the link is pointing to it self. Why? How can I fix this?

PAPS(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   PAPS(1)

NAME

       paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango

SYNOPSIS

       paps [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves
       through the pango ft2 backend.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

       --landscape
	      Landscape output. Default is portrait.

       --columns=cl
	      Number of columns output. Default is 1.

       --font=desc
	      Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12.

       --rtl  Do rtl layout.

       --paper ps
	      Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter, a4. Default is A4.

       --bottom-margin=bm
	      Set bottom margin in postscript points (1/72 inch). Default is 36.

       --top-margin=tm
	      Set top margin. Default is 36.

       --left-margin=lm
	      Set left margin. Default is 36.

       --right-margin=rm
	      Set right margin. Default is 36.

       --help Show summary of options.

       --header
	      Draw page header for each page.

       --markup
	      Interpret the text as pango markup.

       --encoding=ENCODING
	      Assume the documentation encoding is ENCODING.

       --lpi  Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing.

       --cpi  Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size.

       --stretch-chars
	      Indicates  that  characters  should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops
	      behaviour.
