设置var

hello=ho02123ware38384you443d34o3434ingtod38384day

然后，在var上用regex替换echo

echo ${hello//[[:digit:]]/}

这将打印:

howareyoudoingtodday

额外-如果你想要相反的(获得数字字符)

echo ${hello//[![:digit:]]/}

这将打印:

021233838444334343438384

这个例子在输入hello ugly世界中搜索正则表达式bad|ugly并将其替换为nice

#!/bin/bash

# THIS FUNCTION NEEDS THREE PARAMETERS
# arg1 = input              Example:  hello ugly world
# arg2 = search regex       Example:  bad|ugly
# arg3 = replace            Example:  nice
function regex_replace()
{
  # $1 = hello ugly world
  # $2 = bad|ugly
  # $3 = nice

  # REGEX
  re="(.*?)($2)(.*)"

  if [[ $1 =~ $re ]]; then
    # if there is a match
    
    # ${BASH_REMATCH[0]} = hello ugly world
    # ${BASH_REMATCH[1]} = hello 
    # ${BASH_REMATCH[2]} = ugly
    # ${BASH_REMATCH[3]} = world    

    # hello + nice + world
    echo ${BASH_REMATCH[1]}$3${BASH_REMATCH[3]}
  else    
    # if no match return original input  hello ugly world
    echo "$1"
  fi    
}

# prints 'hello nice world'
regex_replace 'hello ugly world' 'bad|ugly' 'nice'

# to save output to a variable
x=$(regex_replace 'hello ugly world' 'bad|ugly' 'nice')
echo "output of replacement is: $x"
exit

使用[[:digit:]](注意双括号)作为模式:

$ hello=ho02123ware38384you443d34o3434ingtod38384day
$ echo ${hello//[[:digit:]]/}
howareyoudoingtodday

只是想总结一下答案(尤其是@nickl-的https://stackoverflow.com/a/22261334/2916086)。

这实际上可以在纯bash中完成:

hello=ho02123ware38384you443d34o3434ingtod38384day
re='(.*)[0-9]+(.*)'
while [[ $hello =~ $re ]]; do
  hello=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}${BASH_REMATCH[2]}
done
echo "$hello"

收益率…

我知道这是一个古老的线程，但它是我在谷歌上的第一次点击，我想分享以下我放在一起的resub，它增加了对多个$1，$2等反向引用的支持…

#!/usr/bin/env bash

如果您正在重复调用并且关心性能，这个测试显示BASH方法比分支到sed和可能的任何其他外部进程快15倍。
