How to find string in range?

Hardik Shah

based on my current search with 10.116.106. I am able to find following results but I want to narrow it to following range only - 10.116.106.208 - 10.116.106.223. Is there advanced search way I can find the exact what I am looking for?

10\.116\.106\.2(0[8-9]|1\d|2[0-3])
Be sure Search Mode: Regular expression is selected.

If the range is like this how can I narrow it range from - 10.116.10.0 - 10.116.10.31 ?

If the range is like this how can I narrow it range from - 10.116.10.0 - 10.116.10.31 ?

Forgive me but… it’s better if you try first, otherwise you will be asking these questions forever.

Take a look at the previous expression:

10\.116\.106\.2(0[8-9]|1\d|2[0-3])

and try to understand how it works. The backslash (\) characters before the periods are there because a period has a special meaning in regular expressions (it matches any one character); putting the backslash before it makes it match only an actual period. So the first part of the expression, before the left parenthesis — 10\.116\.106\.2 — is matching the part in your original question that never changes.

The expression within the parentheses is made up of three parts, separated by vertical bars (|). The parentheses are for grouping, and the vertical bars mean or — in this case either 0[8-9] or 1\d or 2[0-3].

An expression like [0-3] means any single character from 0 to 3, inclusive, in the collating sequence. (The collating sequence is the “natural order” of characters; it can depend on the language and other technicalities, but for digits, it’s always just as you’d expect: 0123456789.)

The expression \d means any digit (it’s the same as writing [0-9]).

That should be enough that you can attempt to work out the expression you need for yourself. If you still have trouble, let us know what you tried.

@Coises my apologies but I did do try it before but maybe I am not doing to correctly

Here is the example for range I am looking to do the search - 10.116.10.0 - 10.116.10.31

10.116.10(0[0-2]|1\d|3[0-1]) but It did not worked.

Maybe you can correct me what I am doing wrong…

@Coises Here is another example

for range 10.116.15.32 - 10.116.15.63

I tried following search 10.116.15(3[0-2]|1\d|6[0-3]) but not working as well…

@Hardik-Shah

10.116.10.0 - 10.116.10.31
10.116.10(0[0-2]|1\d|3[0-1])
what I am doing wrong

First, . means “match any character”, so that’s not what you mean. You should use \. to match a literal dot character.

Second, you didn’t have a dot at all between the 10 and your group, so you are effectively looking for 10.116.10 followed by two more digits (with restrictions), but not looking for a dot in between. Your group say that it wants to match:

either 0 followed by 0 or 1 or 2
or 1 followed by any digit
or 3 followed

Thus, you are trying to match

10.116.1000 - 10.116.1002
or 10.116.1010 - 10.116.1019
or 10.116.1030 - 10.116.1032

----

10.116.15.32 - 10.116.15.63
search 10.116.15(3[0-2]|1\d|6[0-3])

Again, you are missing the backslash before all the dots, and you are missing the dot between 15 and the final. And that one will thus match

10.116.1530 - 10.116.1532
10.116.1510 - 10.116.1519
10.116.1560 - 10.116.1569

And you haven’t told the regex anything about the .40-.49 or .50.59 range, so you cannot very well expect those to match (even if you fix the other problems)

Hopefully, this explanation for why your attempts didn’t work, combined with @Coises earlier explanation, will help you understand where you are going wrong.

If you cannot figure it out, the next time you show an example, and what you tried, also try to explain why you think it will work (explaining what every character or group of characters in the regex is doing), and we can then tell you why your explanation is wrong.

But, as you have found, regex is not an easy way to find values within a mathematical range, especially for something complicated like an IP address. Every time you want to change the range, you will have to completely reconfigure your regex, and that’s going to get annoying for you. If you were using a programming language that had a library that can parse/understand IP addresses (any language worth its salt will have such a library), you could much more easily find IPs withing ranges, rather than relying on making a new custom regex for every range you want.
