Extract IP Addresses in Microsoft Outlook using macros

Question

I am trying to extract ALL IP addresses in the body of an Outlook message from the following example here.

I have tried replacing the regex from:

With Reg1
    .Pattern = "((P130\w*)\s*(\w*)\s*(\w*)\s*(\w*)\s*([\d-\.]*))"
End With

To:

With Reg1
    .Pattern = "((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?))"
End With

~~But it only matches one octet.~~

Sample Text:

The IP from 192.168.10.2 needs attention.
The IP from 192.168.11.3 needs attention.
The IP from 192.168.12.4 needs attention.

Currently it only matches 168

Added extra brackets and now matches the first IP in the body of the message but not the rest.

Full code below:

       vText4 = Trim(M.SubMatches(4))
       ' vText5 = Trim(M.SubMatches(5))
    Next
End If

xlSheet.Range("B" & rCount) = vText

xlSheet.Range("d" & rCount) = vText3
xlSheet.Range("e" & rCount) = vText4

End Sub

^(([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\.){3}([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])$

No joy with that but I added extract brackets on my original expression and it appears to match the full IP now. Thanks for your input. – pablo808 Feb 15 '17 at 01:43
