Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi everyone,
I have a string as follow
ts1n65ulpa4096x16m16_130a_ss1p08v125c
i would like to extract 4096 and 16 from string and save it into two variable. but this string could also have the form
ts1n65ulpa32x16m16_130a_ss1p08v125c
therefore the number before "x" could be 2 or 3 digits. i use the following but this code is not able to extract more than one digit before "x"
echo "ts1n65ulpa4096x16_130a_ss1p08v125c" | sed -e 's/^[a-z0-9]*\([0-9][0-9]*x[0-9]*\).*/\1/'
the output is
6x16
which is missing 409 as the number before "x"
could anyone help me with this

Take a look below. I think it shows ways of getting to before the 'x' and the 2 digits after the 'x'. There may be more elegant solutions, but this one appears to work.

Code:

> echo $val1
ts1n65ulpa4096x16m16_130a_ss1p08v125c
> echo $val1 | cut -c11-
4096x16m16_130a_ss1p08v125c
> echo $val1 | cut -c11- | cut -d"x" -f1
4096
> echo $val1 | cut -c11- | cut -d"x" -f2
16m16_130a_ss1p08v125c
> echo $val1 | cut -c11- | cut -d"x" -f2 | cut -c1-2
16

This should gives you the desired output:

Code:

 sed 's/.*[a-zA-Z]\([^a-zA-Z]*\)x\([^a-zA-Z]*\).*/\1x\2/'

Regards

i have a file whose contents are
abffjdkjaf
XMLCHECK := abc def ghi
jfdkjfajfjklaj

i want my script to change the file to (_10_0_0 should be appended to each and rest of the file remail as it is )
hfdhfksajhla
XMLCHECK := abc_10_0_0 def_10_0_0 ghi_10_0_0
jfjjdfjlsjakja

Please help me to do this.
value _10_0_0 is not hardcoaded..it has to be given by a variable.

something like
variable =_10_0_0
XMLCHECK := abc$variable def$variable ghi$variable

Code:

echo ts1n65ulpa4096x1024m16_130a_ss1p08v125c | sed 's/.*[^0-9]\([0-9]\{1,\}x[0-9]\{1,\}\).*/\1/'
