A dumb regex like this:
(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})
ought to be sufficient. It does not check for the validity of the address but
it probably shouldn't matter too much assuming the program providing the logs
can be relied upon.

[PHP] filtering out text in a string
Hi there, I want to filter out ip adresses out of a given text string. They are inside a logfile and values are seperated by tabs. I tryed sub_str which works fine if you know the length of the characters. In case of the ip adress this is not the case, since they are sometimes shorter than others. Has anybody an idea how to filter the ip adress out? Maybe magically with any regex or somehow with tab recognicion. This is an example of parts of the text 20:03:20[MSG] 192.168.0.129 bla bla I am stuck here, maybe someone has a good idea or knows how to do that.
