How to create a regex that removes everything before the second underscore?

I'm trying to create a regex that removes everything before the second underscore in a string. The number of characters before the second underscore varies.

For example:

DR300_Corp_76
BELLOE_MX400_32
AB200_Corp_123

I only want the two or three digits after the second underscore (i.e. 76, 32, 123, etc.)

If the end of you string is always numbers, try like this

your current search 
| eval yourfield=replace(yourfield,".+_(\d+)$","\1")

if not, try this

your current search 
| eval yourfield=replace(yourfield,"^([^_]+_){2}(.+)$","\2")
