since you know that the first thing on the log file is the IP number you
only need to get the beginning of the line
IP numbers have the format ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd ranging from 1 to 3 digits,
so
if(/$(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})/) would grab the IP and put it
in $1
the above will match IP numbers
for this program, you can also use something simpler like
if(/$(\S+)/)
this will just grab all non space chars at the beginning of the line
