How do I make a match in a word for this *.xx.xx.xx.* like iswm
The xx must be numbers and they need to be exact 2 numbers.

If you are looking for a specific part of that and not the entire set of numbers, you can use $istok.

if ($istok(111.15.57.24,57,46)) { echo -a Match }

The red number is the item you're looking for, and the blue number is the ascii value for a period (the separator used in that number).

If you're looking for the entire thing in a sentence, you can use:

if (111.15.57.24 isin $1-) { echo -a Match }

That assumes you put that into an event that has $1- (such as an on TEXT event).

If you want to check for more a match that ignores part of the number, you can use:

if (*111.*.57.24* iswm $1-) { echo -a Match }

i believe he's trying to extend the wildcarded text *.??.??.??.* to match a string whilst making sure each ? matches one digit

if so:



$regml(1) returns what was matched, in case it's needed

Ah, ok. I wasn't seeing what he was asking for with how the question was worded.

I want it work like this: if (*.xx.xx.xx.* iswm %var) { dothis }

you should've taken that information from my example



i guess i should've mentioned that the $regex() will return 1 if the match was successful and 0 otherwise

EDIT: Beat me to it

THX! How do I make the oposit as !isin dothis ?
