hi all

I need to extract IP addresses from a file and store only the extracted IP addresses in a new file. How do i do it. Do i use regular expression or is there any simple way to do it.

Thanks
Paras.

    What's the original file look like? What will the new one look like?

      the original file is a header of an email file

      looks like:

      Filename: file1.txt

      Received: (qmail 27680 invoked from network); 12 Jan 2003 15:21:26 -0000
