Thanks for pointing that out. This should lay such issues to rest:

Code:
$ cat file
 window 0 truck 3 duck 2 spitfire 8 fire 1 backfire 9
$ sed 's/.*\<fire\> \([0-9][0-9]*\).*/\1/' file
1
$ sed 's/.*\<spitfire\> \([0-9][0-9]*\).*/\1/' file
8
$ sed 's/.*\<window\> \([0-9][0-9]*\).*/\1/' file
0
$ sed 's/.*\<backfire\> \([0-9][0-9]*\).*/\1/' file
9
