Sed to grep only numbers in string
Hi,

I would like to get only number in the following strings.

var1="Type20"
var2="type 3"
var3="value 2"
var4="Type 1 Datacenter Hall 2"

I would like to extract output as 20 from var1 and 3 from var2,2 from var3 and 1 from var4.

Appreciate any one help asap..

Regards,
Aji

Hammer & Screwdriver What about this solution?
Code:
> echo "Type 20" | tr -d " " | tr -s "[:alpha:]" "~" | cut -d "~" -f2
20

> echo "Type 1 Datecenter Hall 2" | tr -d " " | tr -s "[:alpha:]" "~" | cut -d "~" -f2
