Seperating a string

[Gumppy]

Yes, im trying to seperate a string which just so happens to be a Ip. I want to be able to set some of the ip into a variable. Like lets say the ip is 123.32.21.12 How would u take out the 123.32.21. part and store it in a variable. Please Help

Try something like this: (IF you have VB6)

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim ipParts() As String
ipParts = Split("192.168.1.1", ".", -1, vbTextCompare)
MsgBox "The First Part is: " & ipParts(0) & "." & ipParts(1) & "." & ipParts(2) & "."
End Sub

Just change
ipParts = Split("192.168.1.1", ".", -1, vbTextCompare)

to
ipParts = Split(Text1.Text, ".", -1, vbTextCompare)

or whatever the textbox's name is.
