Hi Gerd,

It was foretold that on Tuesday, December 11, 2001 at 10:42 GMT +0100,
Gerd Ewald [GE] would type:

>> '123.456.789.698' as you have no chance to validate the number is
>> between 0 & 255 (including), but it's quite sure better than nothing :-)

GE> Why not using [012][0-5][0-5] if it is always a three-digit number
GE> (else you have to use alternatives...)

That regular expression won't catch all three digit numbers between 0
and 255, it will catch all numbers from:
000-055, 100-155, 200-255

You're missing ranges.  One that might work better is:

(\d|\d\d|[01]\d\d|2[0-5][0-5])\D

Of course this is significantly more complicated, but it should work
for any number between 0 and 255.  The added bonus is it isn't limited
to 3 digit numbers.
