has_ipv4_prefix()
Returns a value indicating whether a specified IPv4 address prefix appears in a text.
A valid IP address prefix is either a complete IPv4 address (192.168.1.11) or its prefix ending with a dot (192., 192.168. or 192.168.1.).
IP address entrances in a text must be properly delimited with nonalphanumeric characters. For example, properly delimited IP addresses are:
- "These requests came from: 192.168.1.1, 10.1.1.115 and 10.1.1.201"
- "05:04:54 127.0.0.1 GET /favicon.ico 404"
