IP range matcher plugin

Is it possible to use variable in the IP range plugin?

I am getting an error when I am trying to do so (Refer attached)

I need to compare individual ip address against a long list of IP range so I was thinking of capturing the list in a variable and pass through the variable in the step but the step does not seem to work with variable

On a formula processor you would add a variable using variables["my_var"]. However this is a plugin so this would only work if the plugin supports it which in this case it doesn't. So you would either need to modify the plugin or move to a Python recipe and use the built-in ipaddress IPv4/IPv6 manipulation library:

I see, so not all plugin support variables. Thanks for the info.

Currently, I would need to check against a range in the format of "IPa-IPx" such as '10.0.0.1-10.0.0.2' but the ipaddress module can only be used for CIDR. I am looking into using socket and struct library to convert the ip into integers and compare them

You can convert any IP Range to CIDR, just use any of the free websites around:

CIDR is the standard way to specify IP ranges.
