Forget the "octet" (or byte) concept for a moment. Look at it as 32 binary digits, all 1s and 0s.
That last one illustrates the subnet mask, and you perform a binary AND operation of this mask and the IP address to obtain the network part of the latter. The mask can be (in principle) any value, be it 16 bits, or 24 bits, or 30 bits. The remainder is used to address the hosts on that special subnet.
To answer your questions:
1 - If you are talking of the /18 subnets, NO. The first subnet's available IP addresses range from 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.3.254, and the next range is 192.168.4.1 - 192.168.7.254.
2 - Not sure I understand your question. A subnet mask on its own is pointless. 255.252.0.0 is equivalent to /14, so the subnets 192.168.0.0/14 would be (given you want four with 262142 IP addresses in them)
Please be aware that you are leaving the non-routeable Class C private range 192.168.0.0/16 with these.
Before I even attempt this, is it possible to grep for a pattern, maybe a partial sentence like "go to page 3", assign that to a variable and then use awk or something to pull out the 3 and assign it to a variable? So first I would have
Gotopg = "go to page 3"
then
page = 3 (9 Replies)
