------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Apr 30 10:48:33 -0700 2005 ------- I would like an 'IP Address' number format. This can be stored internally as a regular number (as I believe dates are) but displayed and entered as an ip address (10.1.1.45) Here is some sample C++ that does the conversions #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { unsigned long number = 0; int tmp = 0, dots = 0; string ip; /* Parse IP Address * Algorithm summary: * * Browse over each character in the input. * Build a number until a dot is encountered or the number goes out of range. * Repeat until end of string * If an invalid character is found, bail out. */ cin >> ip; for (int i = 0, j = ip.length(); i < j; i++) { // cout << i << ": " << ip[i] << endl; if (ip[i] >= '0' && ip[i] <= '9') { tmp = tmp * 10 + (ip[i] - '0'); if (tmp > 255) { cout << "parse error: value out of range\n"; return 3; } // cout << "tmp: " << tmp << endl; continue; } if (ip[i] == '.') { number *= 256; number += tmp; tmp = 0; dots++; // cout << "number; " << number << endl; continue; } cout << "parse error on character " << i << "\n"; return 1; } if (dots != 3) { cout << "parse error: incorrect format\n"; return 2; } number *= 256; number += tmp; tmp = 0; cout << number << endl; /* Format IP Address * Algorithm summary: * * Extract each portion of the number and display. * * I think there may be a better way to do this by shifting bits then mod 256 */ // cin >> number; tmp = (number - (number % 16777216)) / 16777216; cout << tmp << "."; number %= 16777216; tmp = (number - (number % 65536)) / 65536; cout << tmp << "."; number %= 65536; tmp = (number - (number % 256)) / 256; cout << tmp << "."; number %= 256; cout << number << endl; return 0; } I'm not sure if this is closely related enough to this issue or not. Should I file a new issue specific to ip addresses? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
