Expression
\b(([01]?\d?\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.){3}([01]?\d?\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\b
Description
Most Concise RegExp for matching Decimal IPs. If nothing else, it'll make your code easier to read. (And I know that \d?\d is \d{1,2} but that's 2 extra characters.) --Update: darkone noticed 8 characters could be shaved down. I've edited it to reflect this. Thanks, darkone!

I believe this regex to be buggy. It okays the following ip-address while it shouldn't (note the leading zeros): 255.255.255.02 02.234.2.1

Caution: 1.2.3.4.5 matches also. Use ^...$ instead of \b...\b

([01]?\d?\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5]) (matches one number) is a little bit shorter and should also do the job.

I want to match a string which is not of a certain length say between 2 and 20 and it should not contain numbers or special characters except [. -]. I'm not able to find a pattern That will match a string NOT of a certain length.
