Verbose IP Range Generator

Question

The task is simple, given two IP adresses a and b, output all addresses within that range.

---

Examples

Example #1:

f(a = 192.168.0.1, b = 192.168.0.4) 
    192.168.0.1
    192.168.0.2
    192.168.0.3
    192.168.0.4

Example #2 (TIO will truncate this, use a smaller range when testing):

f (a = 123.0.200.0, b = 124.0.0.0)
    123.0.200.0
    123.0.200.1
    ...            # Omitted pattern 
    123.0.200.255
    123.0.201.0
    ...            # Omitted pattern
    123.0.201.255
    ...            # Omitted pattern
    123.0.255.255
    123.1.0.0
    ...            # Omitted pattern
    123.255.255.255
    124.0.0.0

Input and Output

• a < b in other words:
  • Defined Programatically: a[0] < b[0] || (a[0] == b[0] && a[1] < b[1]) || (a[0:1] == b[0:1] && a[2] < b[2]) || (a[0:2] == b[0:2] && a[3] < b[3])
  • Defined in Words: a will always be lower than b (so you will have to increment the subnet to reach b).
  • No, you do not have to handle a == b (if you do, kudos).
• Output should be in order from "lowest" to "highest" (see examples).
• For this challenge, the valid syntax for an IP is: \d{1-3}\.\d{1-3}\.\d{1-3}\.\d{1-3}.
• You do not have to handle non-IP address input, if it's unexpected input you may error.
• Output may be as an array or as a delimited string (using any whitespace character).

Winning

• This is code-golf, lowest byte-count wins.

               cd\.       # split string by "."
             vM           # eval list (convert strings to integers)
            i      256    # convert list of base256 digits to integer
           m          Q   # map the above over implicit input list
         }F               # inclusive range
    jd256                 # convert to list of base256 digits
 j\.                      # join by "."

Batch, 623 bytes

@echo off
set s=%1.%2
call:c %s:.= %
exit/b
:c
if %1==%5 goto d
call:d %1 %2 %3 %4 %1 255 255 255

exit/b
:d
if %2==%6 goto e
call:e %1 %2 %3 %4 %1 %2 255 255
set/al=%2+1,u=%6-1

exit/b
:e
if %3==%7 goto f
call:f %1 %2 %3 %4 %1 %2 %3 255
set/al=%3+1,u=%7-1
for /l %%k in (%l%,1,%u%)do call:e %1 %2 %%k 0 %5 %6 %%k 255
call:e %5 %6 %7 0 %5 %6 %7 %8
exit/b
:f
for /l %%l in (%4,1,%8)do echo %1.%2.%3.%%l

Unfortunately Batch's 32-bit arithmetic can't print all IP addresses, so I have to split it up into octets.

ṣ”.V€ḅ⁹µ€r/b⁹j”.$€

Try it online!

The output appears to by a mush of digits and decimals, but is stored internally as a list of strings. Append a Y to the end (+1 byte) to join the strings by newlines.

How it Works

ṣ”.V€ḅ⁹µ€r/b⁹j”.$€ - main link, input is a list of addresses which are strings
       µ€          - for each address string,
ṣ”.                  - split on periods
   V€                - eval each element in the list (convert strings to numbers)
     ḅ⁹              - transform from base 256 to integer (⁹ is 256)
         r/        - take the inclusive range
           b⁹      - convert each element in the range from integer to base 256
             j”.$€ - join each address with periods.

Answer 6

JavaScript (ES6), 104 bytes

g=s=>s.replace(/(\d+)\.256/,(_,n)=>++n+'.0')
f=(a,b)=>a==b?a:a+`
`+f(g(g(g(g(a+'.256').slice(0,-2)))),b)

This solution replaces the pattern n.256 with n+1.0, and it calls itself recursively until the two parameters are equal.

It appends '.256' to the initial input to get the ball rolling. slice(0,-2) is then used to remove the trailing '.0'.

Examples:

g=s=>s.replace(/(\d+)\.256/,(_,n)=>++n+'.0')
f=(a,b)=>a==b?a:a+`
`+f(g(g(g(g(a+'.256').slice(0,-2)))),b)

console.log('192.168.0.1 ... 192.168.0.4');
console.log(f('192.168.0.1', '192.168.0.4'));

console.log('123.255.255.0 ... 124.0.3.0');
console.log(f('123.255.255.0', '124.0.3.0'));

console.log('192.1.1.1 ... 192.1.1.1 ... kudos');
console.log(f('192.1.1.1', '192.1.1.1'));
