This will convert an existing IP address into an IP address without any periods (dotless IP). Although the dotless IP code is useless, the CountWords and GetWord functions are very useful. CountWords will count the number of words in a string and GetWord will get that specified word. You can also choose what character seperates the words, such as a space or period. GetWord was created by James Lewis with some modification.
Inputs
IP_Dotless#(
Byval ipAddress$) 'IP address to convert
CountWords&(ByVal inWord$,_ 'Word to check
ByVal inSep$) 'Seperation chracter
GetWord$(ByVal inWord$,_ 'Word to check
ByVal inCount&,_ 'Position where word is
ByVal inSep$) 'Seperation chracter
Assumes
A quick example to copy the ip address into the clipboard would look somewhat like this:
Sub Form_Load()
Clipboard.Clear
Clipboard.SetText _
Trim$(Str$(IP_Dotless#("216.46.226.13")))
End
End Sub
Code Returns
IP_Dotless# returns ip as double
CountWords& returns number of words as long
GetWord$ returns specified word as string
