js REGEX | Get the last two sets of Numbers in a string, How?

I have Strings in this format:

6b255c1c689e2e7ee88e6d5d8ab10e9b_307_17234.jpg

8b342878cb8d848608d422a2c02b5e32_7_240723.jpg

07e8e2376d12e2d20a1e4c2159569c43_243_141599.jpg

How do you get the last 2 sets of Numbers?

For example, in

07e8e2376d12e2d20a1e4c2159569c43_243_141599.jpg

I want to get:

07e8e2376d12e2d20a1e4c2159569c43_243_141599.jpg Only the Numbers in bold with the underscore in between them

Is it possible??.....

I tried: var getDigts = str.split('_'), //this way is ok but I have to split again the getDigts[2] as in str2.split(".") to get rid of the DOT.

Is there a workaround or something quicker than double split with plain REGEX? Thx

EDIT

I tried to use str.match(/(\d+_\d+).jpg/)[1] as suggested by @Michael Best ... Just experienced a big ERROR: The reason is because am looping through each string to get the numbers... NOW, Should there be something like:

6b255c1c689e2e7ee88e6d5d8ab10e9b_307_17234.jpg 8b342878cb8d848608d422a2c02b5e32_7_240723.jpg 649ff5658ad274d8cee67b1f6d34600c_90_182456.png 07e8e2376d12e2d20a1e4c2159569c43_243_141599.jpg

Notice the: .png line. is there a REGEX to match both .jpg and/or .png at the same time?

I tried to remove the jpg from the .jpg something like: str.match(/(\d+_\d+)./)[1] but this fails when it comes to strings like: 07e8e2376d12e2d20a1e4c2159569c43_243_141599.jpg

it returns

07e8e2376d12e2d20a1e4c 2159569c43_243 _141599.jpg

instead of

07e8e2376d12e2d20a1e4c2159569c43_243_141599.jpg

Any Help is highly appreciated...

Here's a quick-and-dirty regex:

var nums = str.match(/(\d+_\d+)\.\w+$/)[1];

You can try: 

str.match(/(\d+_\d+).JPG|PNG/i)[1]

When you say: .JPG|.PNG and you add the i athe end, you are telling the script to look for those extensions in a case insensitive way.

So it will match both .jpg and .png

Hope it helps

You should try this regexp.

str.match(/(\d+_\d+)\.(?:jpg|png)/i)[1]

Regular expression visualization

Debuggex Demo

The . have to be escaped as well. . is a wildcard for nearly all characters. If not escaped then

1233242_34243_3224_png_3424_34342.jpg

Whould give a wrong match 34243_3224.

Because of using case insensitivity with i-flag PNG and png (JPG, jpg) would be matched as extensions.
