i have a library that passes me a string for the users ip address that looks like this- "::ffff:10.10.102.86"
I don't want to change the code in that library for many reasons. Obviously the leftmost side is ipv6 and the rightmost side is v4.
What is the best way to split this up into two strings for v6 and v4?
I've tried some other regex matches but these did not work:
var ipv6 = ip.match(/^(?:(?:[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}:){7}(?:[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}|:)|(?:[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}:){6}(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)(?:\\.(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)){3}|:[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}|:)|(?:[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}:){5}(?::(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)(?:\\.(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)){3}|(?::[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}){1,2}|:)|(?:[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}:){4}(?:(?::[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}){0,1}:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)(?:\\.(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)){3}|(?::[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}){1,3}|:)|(?:[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}:){3}(?:(?::[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}){0,2}:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)(?:\\.(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)){3}|(?::[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}){1,4}|:)|(?:[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}:){2}(?:(?::[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}){0,3}:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)(?:\\.(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)){3}|(?::[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}){1,5}|:)|(?:[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}:){1}(?:(?::[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}){0,4}:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)(?:\\.(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)){3}|(?::[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}){1,6}|:)|(?::(?:(?::[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}){0,5}:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)(?:\\.(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)){3}|(?::[a-fA-F\d]{1,4}){1,7}|:)))(?:%[0-9a-zA-Z]{1,})?$/gm);
var ipv4 = ip.match(/^(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)(?:\.(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)){3}$/gm);
Appreciate any help you can give!
I would just do it like this instead of creating very complicated regEx expressions.
const arr = "::ffff:10.10.102.86".split(':')
const ipV4 = arr.pop()
const ipV6 = arr.join(':')
