StringRegExp()

[crzftx]

I ran "StringRegExp($string,"(\d{1,3}[.]){3}\d{1,3}[:]\d{5}",1)" on a long string with a bunch of different IPs scattered about it. I thought it would return all of the IPs of the form 000.000.000.000:00000 where the first five 000 could be 1-3 digits long, thereby capturing all of the IPs. The return is oddly a 1-index array with only "83." in it. Any help on the Regular Expression would be great!

Flag for global matching is 3, not 1.

You have first octet and the dot in a group, therefore it's the only thing that gets captured.

Well that did help. Thanks Siao. So... is the group always the only thing that is captured? To capture the IP would I have to do something like

Global $array = StringRegExp($string,"(\d{1,3}[.]\d{1,3}[.]\d{1,3}[.]\d{1,3}[:]\d{5})",3)

How would I go about using a group without having the group alone returned?

Non-capturing group - (?: ... )

Thanks a lot! Now I can capture lists of IPs quickly.

StringRegExp($string,"(?:\d{1,3}[.]){3}\d{1,3}[:]\d{5}",3)
