You are looking for the word addr: followed by four groups of digits, three
of which are separated by a dot. Therefore you want
$string =~ /addr:(\d+\.\d+.\d+\.\d+)/;
Now, $1 has the correct ip address.

Subject: Help with regular expression.
List,
I have an IP address within this regular expression that I need
extracting and stored in a variable. Could some one offer some help on
this? The line is as follows...
inet addr:144.137.215.25 P-t-P:172.31.28.24
Mask:255.255.255.255
I need to extract the inet addr: i.e 144.137.215.25 and store it in a
variable.
I am very new to regexes. So any help would be greatly appriciated.
Daniel Falkenberg.
