Simple Python function to validate IP address

 Here is a simple Python function that checks if a given string is a valid IP address: import re  def is_valid_ip ( ip ):       pattern = re. compile ( r"^(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)$" )       return pattern. match (ip) is not None This function uses a regular expression to check if the input string is a valid IP address. The regular expression is compiled and stored in the variable 'pattern'. The match function is used to check if the string passed to the function matches the regular expression. If it does, the function returns True, otherwise, it returns False. You can test the function by calling it and passing a string as an argument: print (is_valid_ip( "192.168.0.1" )) # True   print (is_valid_ip( "256.256.256.256" )) # False Note that this function will only check if the string passed to it is a valid IP address in the format of 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' where x...

How to use Linux fold command in bash script

The fold command can be very useful in many scenarios. It allows you to break up text and then use it in a loop. In this post, we will review the fold command and see how it can be used in a bash script and as command argument to format text. The basic use of the fold command is to take long lines of text and break them into shorter pieces. One common use is to shorten lines in a text file so that they display well in a terminal window. Lines wider than the terminal width might otherwise wrap in inconvenient places. The fold command can also be used to create a narrower formatted file from a file with lines that are inconveniently long. $ fold wide.txt > narrow.txt If a text file contained a single line with 346 characters including the final newline like that shown below, it would wrap, but not necessarily in a way that would look right. $ cat khs Kendra Harry-Stocker has been administering Unix systems for more than 30 years.
