Here is something I wrote years ago to verify the format of an IP address. It was written to verify a single IP address per call. You might be able to use it as a starting point.
'PIPE (end \ name VeriftIPA)', '\ var ipa', '| v: verify /.0123456789/', '| deblock linend .', '| pad 1 0', '| p: pick w1 <<= /255/', '| c: count lines', '| join * /./', '| var ipaddr' '\ v:', '| stem badchar.', '\ c:', '| var segs', '\ p:', '| stem badsegs.' Instead of the "pad 1 0" stage you could "pad 3 left 0" to make all octets 3 bytes long.
