Hi Monks, I'm trying to get the IP address from the following format log file for pop-before-smtp perl script. The regex syntax provided there is not working for me actually.
2011.05.13-14:54:58, test@xyz.com, 180.211.51.11, pop3 2011.05.13-14:57:26, test@xyz.com, 160.234.47.12, pop3 2011.05.13-14:57:54, www@abcd.com, 166.22.22.224, imap 2011.05.13-14:57:55, www@somedomain.com, 172.58.22.154, imap 2011.05.13-15:03:08, www@example.com, 190.22.120.44, pop3
Kindly advice me the regex to get only the ip address from each line. Thanks for your help in advance.
