Finding new IP in a file
- by Gary
Hello. I have a file of IP addresses called "IPs". When I parse a new IP from my logs, I'd like to see if the new IP is already in file IPs, before I add it. I know how to add the new IP to the file, but I'm having trouble seeing if the new IP is already in the file.
!/usr/bin/python
from IPy import IP
IP = IP('192.168.1.2')
f=open(IP('IPs', 'r')) #This line doesn't work
f=open('IPs', 'r') # this one doesn't work
for line in f:
if IP == line:
print "Found " +IP +" before"
f.close()
In the file "IPs", each IP address is on it's own line. As such:
222.111.222.111
222.111.222.112
Also tried to put the file IPs in to an array, but not having good luck with that either.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Gary
