in reply to (OT) mysql regexp unwanted matches for specific IP

If you're looking for a specific IP address, then why bother messsing around with a pattern match?

I mean, what's wrong with:

select * from table where field like '%10.100.1.1%';

P.S. This is a Perl site, not a MySQL site ;-)

    Almost there, but to match the OP's criteria you'll need an extra whitespace, so assuming the address is the first string in the field:

    select * from table where field like '10.100.1.1 %';

    It still has nothing to do with Perl, though.

    because
    mysql> select state,d09,d07 from service where d07 like '%10.100.1.1%' +; +-------+--------------------------+--------------+ | state | d09 | d07 | +-------+--------------------------+--------------+ | 0 | cr1.pullpnt 25512 | 10.100.1.158 | | 0 | Link PP2Prn 25506 | 10.100.1.157 | | 0 | Link PP2Sol 25505 | 10.100.1.130 | | 0 | CV2SOL 26754 | 10.100.1.138 | | 0 | Link Sol2CV 26775 | 10.100.1.139 | | 0 | Link Sol2PP 27014 | 10.100.1.131 | | 0 | Link Princess2Pull 27016 | 10.100.1.154 | | 0 | br1.glbx 28281 | 10.100.1.1 | +-------+--------------------------+--------------+ 8 rows in set (0.02 sec)
    but I tried - thanks suggestion -
    mysql> select state,d09,d07 from service where d07 like '%10.100.1.1'; +-------+----------------+------------+ | state | d09 | d07 | +-------+----------------+------------+ | 0 | br1.glbx 28281 | 10.100.1.1 | +-------+----------------+------------+ 1 row in set (0.02 sec)
