Help needed with code

Question

this is an ip validator program, it checks whether an entered ip address is valid or not.
my code works but the problem is it only gives an affirmitive reply for: 100.100.100.200
100.200.100.200 and some others( i cant list them all)
but if i enter 192.168.2.100 it says its not ip address.....plzz can anyone tell me where the bug is.

Answer 1

You can't enter number range for regex. You will need to make one to match the 4 address numbers and then check them yourself.
remove [0-255 and ] at the end and go from there, the rest if it looks valid, but I don't know Python.

Answer 2

Use this to check your regex:

Answer 3

add these lines to your code so you can see what is going on. it will help lead you to your problem

print(mo1)
print([i <= str(255) for i in mo1])

BlazingMagpie its not meant to be a range, its meant to be a character class. did i mess it up?

BlazingMagpie thnx, it was a wrong regex, confirmed it using regexr.com
