Parsing IP Adresses from a .TXT file on Python

Question

So I am trying to take all the IP addresses from a .txt and have them print out in a new text file, one per line on Python

The text looks like this

  1    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  192.168.0.1  
  2    47 ms    14 ms    27 ms  cpe-67-254-0-1.nycap.res.rr.com [67.254.0.1]

I was told to use splicing, but I;ve written some code about 4 times and nothing seems to work, similar questions are on here but I can't get them to work

Any sense of direction would help!

this is what I have so far

file = open('ipaddr.txt', 'r')
        ips = []
        for text in file.readlines():
            text = text.rstrip()
            found = re.findall(r'(?:[\d]{1,3})\.(?:[\d]{1,3})\.(?:[\d]{1,3})\.(?:[\d]{1,3})',text)
            if regex:
                ips.extend(found)

Answer 1

In your case the IP address seems to always be in the last column, so this should suffice:

with open('file.txt', 'r') as f:
    for line in f:
        cols = line.split() # split line at whitespace
        ip = cols[-1] # get last column
        ip = ip.strip('[]') # remove brackets
        print(ip) # print the IP address

If you really need to use splicing, you can use last_part = line[32:] to get the part containing the domain names and IP addresses. Then you need to check if a bracket (or space) is in this part. If there isn't, print last_part , else use .split() and .strip() or .index() and splicing to get the part between the brackets and print it.

Answer 2

Use a regular expression:

import re 

self.proxy_list = []
for line in open(file, "r+").readlines():
      pattern = re.compile(r'(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\:\d{2,5})') `enter 
      self.proxy_list.append(pattern.search(line)[0])
