Parse a string with regex

I'm trying to parse the string below to get just the numbers in green (#s right before the .jpg).  I was able to do it with text to column, but I'd like to use RegEx

 

Unfortuately, i was getting confused by the syntax options.  Can someone offer some guidance?

 

Thanks!

There are many different regular expressions that will work here. One that will work is:

 

(\d*).jpg

 

What this is saying is, return any number of digits before .jpg, pretty simple one. Note: the parenthesis denote what you want returned.
