Pattern matching in Perl

Hi,

I have a list of IP, eg :
Code:
192.168.0.15
192.168.0.24
192.168.2.110
192.168.2.200

And I would like the shortest pattern who match with '192.168.0' and '192.168.2' (without the last dot and number).

Thanks itkamaraj,

To be honest i'm not very familiar with Perl in command line, I intended to use grep.
And i'm searching for something very generic, because I won't to read first numbers each time.

Something like this:
Code:
grep -P '\d+\.\d+\.\d+' filename.txt

My question is there a simpler pattern for this ?
Is possible to repeat some part of the pattern, for example: '\d+' x3 and '\.' x2

Yes thanks that's the idea, but the question it's for Perl regex not POSIX.

Like this?
Code:
(\d{1,3}\.){3}

or this?
Code:
(\d+\.){3}
