Exaple for --regex about anonip HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi!

After reading Issue 44 I think there is a misunderstanding on the usage of the regexp parameter. Apparently you don't have to specify a regexp to match the IP address, but a regexp to describe where it is.

So based on your example, you might want to use .*client ([0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3})\:[0-9]*\].* as regexp parameter. Note that I placed your regexp in regular brackets, and just but a bit context before and after.

$ echo ' [Mon Jul 18 17:54:15.281165 2022] [ssl:info] [pid 32202] [client 11.22.33.44:11388] Some Text bla...' | \
> anonip -4 8 --regex '.*client ([0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3})\:[0-9]*\].*'
[Mon Jul 18 17:54:15.281165 2022] [ssl:info] [pid 32202] [client 11.22.33.0:11388] Some Text bla...
