How does grep-grepping logs for IP addresses?
It assumes the IP-address is the first thing on each line. The sed collects the IP-addresses (actually it looks for 4 sets of digits, with periods in between), and replaces the entire line with it. -e t continues to the next line if it managed to do a substitution, -e d deletes the line (if there was no IP address on it). sort sorts..
How to grep a list of IPv4 addresses?
Use Gvim or Vim to read the resulting file, which will be called unique_visits, which will list the unique ips in a column. The key to this is in the lines used with grep. Those expressions work to extract the ip address numbers. IPV4 only.

How to find an IP address in a file?
Grep IP Addresses. Parse a file and print all expressions that match a range between 0.0.0.0 and 999.999.999.999. $ grep -E -o “([0-9]{1,3}[\\.]){3}[0-9]{1,3}” file.txt. This regular expression is quite simple but you should understand that not all matches are technically valid IP addresses.
Is there a way to get the correct IP address in regex?
For this to work properly, you need to also match at least the end of the string. Otherwise, it will match invalid IP addresses such as “192.168.0.700”. With a little playing around was able to combo two from here to make a shorter expression for correct IP address validation.
