regular expression replacement w/ sed

Asked by ugeb in Kernel And Operating System Specific Programming, Unix Operating Systems, Unix Systems Programming

Tags: sed, replacement, regular, expression

Hi,

I'm running Cygwin under WinXP.

What's the sed command to find the text  "_??^_"  (an underscore followed by 1 or 2 digits which is NOT followed by another underscore.  Then, replace the "_??" with the last digit of the "??" ?

for example:

combobox_57->get()             turns into         combobox7
combobox_8_2->xxx            turns into         combobox_82
combobox_1_2_3_45           turns into         combobox_1_2_35

Thanks!
Gene
