How to extract numbers correctly

Hi!
I have this field in my log: callerSipNumber="18121710_text". How should I extract "18121710" and name it "number"?
I've tried |rex field=callerSipNumber "((?)[_\w+])". But it didn't give anything. Thanks a lot!

| rex field=callerSipNumber "(?<number>\d+)" will do it.
