Challenge: Mersenne primes

Mersenne primes are prime numbers that are 1 less a power of 2. the exponent of the power must be a prime number, so a mersenne prime (n) satisfies this relation: n=2^p-1 (p is prime) task: write a code - in any language you prefer - that, once user provedes an input x finds all mersenne primes from 1 to x happy coding :)
