reg expression help 1

[GUJUm0deL]

I am using Google analytical system on my site, and I have an IP range which i'd like to forego in the reports. According to google (

http://www.google.com/support/analy...43829&query=ip+address+range&topic=0&type=f),

I can define the IP range via reg expression. I haven't used reg expression in a long time, so I need some help.

If my IP range is: 127.11.123.1-254 and 127.22.456.1–254 then how should my reg expression look?

Thanks!

I figured I'd start this off. Not much testing, but the ones I tested passed the test. Add more to the array to continue...

<script type="text/javascript"><!--

var re = /^127\.(11\.123|22\.456).([1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-4])$/;

var ip = new Array('126.0.0.1', '127.0.0.1', '127.11.123.1', '127.22.123.1','127.11.123.456','127.22.456.23');

for ( var i = 0; i < ip.length; i++ ) {
    document.writeln(ip[i] + " test: " + re.test(ip[i]) + "<br />");
}

//--></script>

Thanks for the help!

Your're example is very different then the one Google provoides. Google says to do it as:

192.168.1.1-25 and 10.0.0.1-14 

then the IP address value will be: 

^192\.168\.1\.([1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-5])$|^10\.0\.0\.([1-9]|1[0-4])$

The difference is my scenario has 3 digits in the range and google's example has 2. (mine is 1-254 and Google is 1-25)

of course it's different, because of the reason you just gave - yours has three digits and google's has two.

Would this be correct also:

^127\.11\.123\.([1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-5]|25(0-4))$|^127\.22\.456\.([1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-5]|25(0-4))$

My boss wants the IP range to be in the same manner as Google cites in their example.

no.

1[0-9] means 10 - 19. what about 22, 23, 35, 46...

25(0-4) will match "250-4".

was there something wrong with the RE i provided?

There was nothing wrong with the code you provided. If it was up to me i'd use it. But my boss is iffy about it, keeps saying 'why does Google show it differently?' My fear is that if the Google Analytical doesn't work right, my boss is going to be like 'its the ip range that caused it to not work right' (I know, I know but HE is the boss)

How can I re-write it so that it mocks what Google cites (this is to shut him up so I can do go back to developing)

If your boss doesn't like the working solution that Cory provided, then tell him to do it himself.

Hi, could you explain what this part means:

([1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-4])

([1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-4])

1 thru 9
OR
1 thru 9 followed by 0 thru 9
OR
1 followed by 0 thru 9 followed by 0 thru 9
OR
2 followed by 0 thru 4 followed by 0 thru 9
OR
25 followed by 0 thru 4

consequently, all [!][0-9][/!] can be replaced by [!]\d[/!] - it means the same thing.

Then I guess this won't work:

var re = /^127\.(11\.123|22\.456).([1-9]|[1-9][!]\d[/!]|1[!]\d{2}[/!]|2[0-4][!]\d[/!]|25[0-4])$/;

What is it an ip address with .456?

 

[chrissie1]

must be IPv8

Thanks for the quick lesson in RE!

I am still using the example cLFlaVA provided. If my boss an an issue, i'll deal with it when the time comes.

tsuji, the IP range I used in this thread was a dummy one. Obviously, since .456 isn't a valid range,

I see... then it's fine.
