Or use String#[]:
irb(main):006:0> arr = ["this is _ a 76string / #123 like 456",
irb(main):007:1* "435 bill#198777 bgt",
irb(main):008:1* "my_name#9_is?"]
=> ["this is _ a 76string / #123 like 456", "435 bill#198777 bgt",
"my_name#9_is?"]
irb(main):009:0> arr.map {|s| s[/(?<=#)\d+/]}
=> ["123", "198777", "9"]
