Hi, Ron. I think REGEXP can help you..

Im trying to select an IP from a TEXT (details) type field, which works if I do this:select id from `table` where `details` like '%192.168.0.1%' : But If I want any record with an IP in that TEXT type field it seems a little tricky. I have tried: select id from `table` where INET_ATON(details) BETWEEN INET_ATON('127.0.0.1') and INET_ATON('192.168.0.2'); select id from `table` where INET_ATON(details) BETWEEN INET_ATON('%127.0.0.1%') and INET_ATON('%192.168.0.2%'); select id from `table` where details BETWEEN INET_ATON('%127.0.0.1%') and INET_ATON('%192.168.0.2%'); For instance I know this IP (192.168.0.1) is in 14 different records, what I was hoping for is a result like so doing a wildcard search for any IP in this text field. +----------+ | id | +----------+ | 66 | | 148 | etc...... 14 rows in set (0.01 sec)Any other ideas on how I could do this?
