HI All,
We have an Redhat Machine,
And some folder with couple simple text files, this files containing a lot of lines with various strings and IP address with different classes.

The Requirement in eventually , is to pass the all various IP addresses to Excel.

My question is : what is the correct command with grep and/or Wildcards, or any other way,to get output from the files with only IP addresses that existing on these files?

I want to mention again that the IP address that exist of any each file are in different Classes, the rows in the files are not organized.
For example , in one line in the file, exist couple ip address and they before and after various expressions in the file.

I would appreciate your help.

There are many ways to approach this, with GNU grep you could try this->

grep -orsh '[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}' .
