Honesty, that’s trivial to parse, even if you don’t want to use or don’t have regex available: In C, e.g., just treat the name as a string and walk backwards from the last character until you find a non-digit; adjust for indexing, and you now know where the protocol ends and port begins.

That explicitly wouldn't work in the example you're responding to

I believe GP meant that you can't have protocols containing numbers, using rot13 as the example protocol on port 76. Though, as msk-lywenn said, rot13 isn't a real protocol, which don't really have numbers in their names.

rotthirteen76 would work

rotthirteen would "work", but it's not a protocol.

Actual protocols include tcp, udp, dccp, sctp, etc.
