You probably want to use the "Filter through command"
(command-option-R) to get a new document produced: for something like
hunting out the lines containing IP numbers use a simple

  perl -ne 'print if /\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+/'

as the command, with "whole document" as source and "new document" as
output will do the job(*). It's infinitely flexible if you're happy
with regex and (some) underlying scripting language, and hence
somewhat more in keeping with TextMate's guiding philosophy than a
specific built-in function would be.

Cheers,
Paul

(*) Yeah, I realise that's not a perfect fit to IP numbers, but it is
usually good enough...
