Subject: Re: How to get the only the partial of text

Looking at OP's sample output, they want it without the trailing :ddd
(port?), so:

 /-(.*?):/

will give just the second ip.

N.B.: scan returns each match group as a single element array inside
the array of matches. So doing something like:

input.map {|line| line.scan /-(.*?):/ }

gives:

[[["192.168.1.22"]], [["192.168.1.21"]]]

which might be a lot to unpack. #flatten will fix that up:

input.map {|line| line.scan /-(.*?):/ }.flatten
# => ["192.168.1.22", "192.168.1.21"]
