I am trying to extract the following from a data stream using find

the following text " ip=192.168.1.36 port=4992 " I also want to make
sure the program can handle the ip that is as high as
255.255.255.255
Thanks for any help you can provide
Hello,
It depends on whether you trust the data (if it's yours and you *know*
they're IP addresses) and just want to automate, or not..
pattern = re.compile(r'\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}')
Tested on:
test = "ip=192.168.1.36 port=4992 ip=255.255.255.255 port=80"
Gives:
['192.168.1.36', '255.255.255.255']
Add "ip=" in order to avoid confusion (data may have by chance something
that looks like an IP address, but the "ip=" bit acts as a discriminant.
pattern = re.compile(r'ip=\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}')
Testing for the string test:
test = "ip=192.168.1.36 port=4992fdjsqklmfqsjdkip=192.168.541.36
port=222 2.2.2.2random"
Gives:
['ip=192.168.1.36', 'ip=192.168.541.36']
It ignores the 2.2.2.2 because it doesn't have "ip=" in front of it, and
was just lucky to have an IP address structure.
You can then split "ip=" out of each item to have the IP address.
