Assistance required to decode sed search using /1
Hi,

I am trying to extract line number (first number), as well as everything from TSVal onwards.

Code:
 4   1.474005 172.18.124.142 -> 74.125.228.46 TCP 2450940617 74 44021 > https [SYN] Seq=0 Win=5840 Len=0 MSS=1380 SACK_PERM=1 TSval=2450940617 TSecr=0 WS=64
  6   1.488149 172.18.124.142 -> 74.125.228.46 TCP 2450940637 66 44021 > https [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=1 Win=5888 Len=0 TSval=2450940637 TSecr=1834617706

The following sed regex accomplishes this, but I have a few questions around the expression.

Code:
$ cat tcp_timestamps.txt | sed 's/\([0-9]\) .*TSval/\1 TSval/'
 4 TSval=2450940617 TSecr=0 WS=64
  6 TSval=2450940637 TSecr=1834617706

1> Why does [0-9] need to be grouped into brackers?
2> What is the purpose of \1 TSval? If /1 denotes the last element which is remembered, how does it apply here?

Thanks,
