Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Grep regex to ignore sequence only if surrounded by fwd-slashes Post 302879333 by Don Cragun on Wednesday 11th of December 2013 11:15:27 PM
Old 12-12-2013
While doing some further testing, I came up with a few questions. If you had the following input file:
Code:
1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.21.22.23.24.25.26.27.28
11.22.33.44version 55.66.77.99.100.110.120.130.140.150.160.170.180.190
99.88.77.66/55.44.33.22.11/111.112.113.114

what, if any, valid IP addresses would you like your script to report? I'm guessing that none should be found here, but one of the scripts you posted early in this thread will come up with something like the following:
Code:
21.22.23.24
55.44.33.22
17.18.19.20
9.10.11.12
13.14.15.16
25.26.27.28
1.2.3.4
111.112.113.114
100.110.120.130
5.6.7.8
99.88.77.66
11.22.33.44
140.150.160.170

I'm looking at a different way to evaluate possible IP addresses, but I need to know what you want to be required to appear before and after a valid IP address. Am I correct in assuming that a valid IP address should appear at the start of a line or be preceded by a white-space character, be followed by a white-space character or appear at the end of a line, and contain four 1 to 3 digit numbers separated by single occurrences of a period where the values of the numbers are 0 <= number <= 255?

Note that if my assumption is correct, an IP address surrounded by alphabetic or punctuation characters (in addition to slashes) should also be rejected. If my assumption is correct, should an exception be made allowing commas (or comma followed by space) to separate IP addresses?

Are we having fun yet?
