How do we get the IP Address to appear properly when we see the following:
 quote:??
 __1.__2.__3.__4
 
 
 We really want to see -
 
 quote:{Edit 30-April-2003}
 1.2.3.4
 
 
 Note: This requires KiX version 4.10 or better.
 
 code:Thanks Jens!!
 $ipadr=join(split(@IPADDRESS0,' '),'') 
 
 OK, so I want to segregate the second octet from 1.2.3.4. That is, I want to find the users that are in the "2" subnet.
 Expanding the above code, we can do that..
 
 code:{/Edit}
 $2oct=split(join(split(@IPADDRESS0,' '),''),'.')[1] 
 
 {Edit 22-April-2003}
 If you have KiX 4.x, you can do the following:
 
 code:{/Edit}
  $1st=LTRIM(split(@ipaddress0,'.')[0])$2nd=LTRIM(split(@ipaddress0,'.')[1])
 $3rd=LTRIM(split(@ipaddress0,'.')[2])
 $4th=LTRIM(split(@ipaddress0,'.')[3])
 $ipadr='$1ST.$2ND.$3RD.$4TH'           ; #ip#
 
 
 With Pre-4.x versions, you can do the following:
 
 code:
  ;*************************************************************************************; Get the User's IP Address and trim appropriately
 ;*************************************************************************************
 ;LTRIM - TRIM THE LEADING SPACES FROM A STRING
 ;SUBSTR - RETURNS PART OF STRING: START POSITION, LENGTH
 $1st=LTRIM(SUBSTR(@ipaddress0,1,3));#ip#
 $2nd=LTRIM(SUBSTR(@ipaddress0,5,3));#ip# Get the IP# and assign it to $ipadr
 $3rd=LTRIM(SUBSTR(@ipaddress0,9,3));#ip#
 $4th=LTRIM(SUBSTR(@ipaddress0,13,3));#ip#
 $ipadr='$1ST.$2ND.$3RD.$4TH';#ip#

Sometimes you may want to break up the IP address into the individual octets and then do some sort of compare.  Remember that the IP is a string vartype and the above code example retains the string format.  It is not advisable to do '>=' or '<=' compares with strings as you may have unexpected results.  Better to convert the strings to numeric with Val().
 code:If doing any subnet calculating that is more complex than a single octet compare, take a look at the various subnet UDFs that have been posted.  See also, sealeopard's FAQs on the topic.  This is the first in a series of three:
 $1st = VAL(SUBSTR(@IPAddress0,1,3))$2nd = VAL(SUBSTR(@IPAddress0,5,3))
 $3rd = VAL(SUBSTR(@IPAddress0,9,3))
 $4th = VAL(SUBSTR(@IPAddress0,13,3))
