Python Line parser

[Sharkey]

If I think I know what you mean, this code should extract the parts of one line and iterate through a range of IP's, passing each one to a function I'm presuming you already have called "check_ip" which takes an IP in string format.

parts = line.split(".")
first_part = parts[:-1]
last_part = parts[-1]
the_range = last_part.split("-")
bottom = the_range[0]
top = the_range[1]

for i in range(int(bottom), int(top)+1):
    ip = ".".join(first_part) + "." + str(i)
    check_ip(ip)
