No, although I can see why my examples would lead one to think that. Doh. :(

My question is really more about testing for the effects of awk. Since awk by default splits lines on whitespace, if I were to cat a file that contained a line that looked like MY_IP = 123.134.234.90, and then do  |awk '{print $1;}', I'd only get the "MY_IP" part.

So, in order to see what I would be losing by doing that, I decided to try and write a regex that would show me lines that contained an IP address, but only after the first whitespace on the line, which itself needed to follow some non-whitespace stuff, that did not itself contain an IP address.

This turns out to be difficult to do by hand, but easy if you use regex modules, as shown below by AnomalousMonk :D

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
