Regexp for extracting public IP address

Recently I needed to make a regular expression for parsing the first public IPV4 address from a string of comma separated private and public IP addresses.

After spending an hour on it and failing, I thought about it over night and woke up with some more ideas of what to try.

I ended up using a word boundary as an anchor and a negative lookahead from the anchor to accomplish it.

Test string:

'10.56.39.225, 10.0.0.1, 192.168.0.1, 172.16.1.1, 172.32.1.1, 172.1.1.1,'

Regex:

\b(?!(10)|192\.168|172\.(2[0-9]|1[6-9]|3[0-2]))[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}
