I would like to know if it is possible to compare IP's in a range with VBScript. For example, I know that if a device's IP address in between 172.31.4.1 through 172.31.4.254 it is located in the lower level of our building. I could make a device locater if I could tell a script in a if else statement to look in certain ranges. Only thing is that dots cause it to error out. I need to be able to format an IP from 172.31.4.1 to 172031004001 or maybe it's binary component of 10101100000111110000010000000001 to 10101100000111110000010011111110 How do you make a function to convert these numbers?

You could convert it to a number, but VBScript doesn't do unsigned numbers, so that's just a bigger headache than most (me) want to deal with. You could also convert it into a string, but why beat around the comparison bush? 'Return: IP1 < IP2 -> -1 ' IP1 = IP2 -> 0 ' IP1 > IP2 -> 1 Function IPComp(sIP1, sIP2) Dim i, num1, num2 num1 = Split(sIP1, ".") : num2 = Split(sIP2, ".") For i = 0 To 3 If CInt(num1(i)) < CInt(num2(i)) Then IPComp = -1 Exit Function ElseIf CInt(num1(i)) > CInt(num2(i)) Then IPComp = 1 Exit Function End If Next 'i End Function
