Is it possible to make a half part of regex as case-insensitive?

Question

I have about 500 + ip regex in my apache file like this

99.45.3[2-9]..*$ 
^99.45.4[0-9]..*$ 
^99.45.5[0-9]..*$ 

I have to convert like this into CIDR .

99.45.32.0/21
99.45.40.0/21
99.45.48.0/23
99.45.50.0/21
99.45.58.0/23

Is there a module that can help me convert ip regex to ip range .

Answer 1

Perl lets you make part of your regular expression case-insensitive by using the (?i:) pattern modifier.

Modern regex flavors allow you to apply modifiers to only part of the regular expression. If you insert the modifier (?ism) in the middle of the regex, the modifier only applies to the part of the regex to the right of the modifier. You can turn off modes by preceding them with a minus sign. All modes after the minus sign will be turned off. E.g. (?i-sm) turns on case insensitivity, and turns off both single-line mode and multi-line mode.

Not all regex flavors support this. JavaScript and Python apply all mode modifiers to the entire regular expression. They don't support the (?-ismx) syntax, since turning off an option is pointless when mode modifiers apply to the whole regular expressions. All options are off by default.

You can quickly test how the regex flavor you're using handles mode modifiers. The regex (?i)te(?-i)st should match test and TEst, but not teST or TEST.
