Compare IP Address to range of IP Addresses - 9/24/2006 12:48:19 AM

Status: offline 		Hello all... I'm new here and new to scripting as well.  I know enough to hurt myself but still not enough to hurt anyone else.  Anyway, here's my question and I hope I explain it right.

How can I determine if an IP Address is within a certain range of IP Addresses in a VBScript?

If I know a range like 192.168.10.1 - 192.168.10.50
Can I grab an IP Address using VBscript, assign it to a variable and then perform some actions if that IP Address falls within that range?

Problem I am having is that I get "expected then" because when I assign an IP Address to a variable it doesn't like anything passed the first decimal point (second octet of the IP). So, IF strIPAddress >= 192.168.10.1 And strIPAddress <= 192.168.10.50 THEN do some stuff here... isn't working... gives me the ' expected THEN ' error.

What am I missing ?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much,

LD

The syntax for the IF statement is:

This is because vbscript doesn't like anything passed the first decimal point in the IP Address value.

I will look into what you mentioned and see if I can piece it together.

thanks again,

LD

I found information on Split() and this has given me some new ideas and understanding... However, can you explain more about what you mean regarding varIP(3) ?? 

Thanks,

LD

Nevermind Snipah... I got it... just started playing with it and realized I'm pulling elements of an array.

Thanks very much again... it's always fun to actually learn something because the person who helped didn't give too much... but just enough to spark your thinking...

GREATLY appreciated...
