I had to do something similar long-long-ago. The requirement was to validate that the address was a valid class A B or C, and did not fall into the private address (10. 172.16 192.168) range. Perl was my savior.
I'm also curious. :-) From: William Rentfrow <wrentf...@stratacominc.com> To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Date: 03/19/2009 04:05 PM Subject: Re: Format IP Address Sent by: "Action Request System discussion list(ARSList)" <arslist@ARSLIST.ORG> ** I have to ask out of curiosity - WHY would you want to do that to IP addresses?

Add a small button next to it that opens a dialog with 4 separate fields. 1 for each octet. All it would take is 1 active link to compose your IP Address field.

If it can be accomplished, it will look messy and cludgy. My knee jerk reaction would be to find a shell or perl script that can accomplish this and call that script with a set fields $PROCESS$ or filter API. The perl archive is the first place I would look in: http://www.cpan.org -Guillaume -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) on behalf of Nall, Roger Sent: Wed 03/18/09 4:42 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: OT: Format IP Address All, ARS 7.01 p4 Oracle 10g Solaris 9 We have a request to format data that is stored in a character field. The data is standard IP addresses: xx.x.xx.xxx The idea is to make each octet three characters by padding zeros. So the previous example would look like: 0xx.00x.0xx.xxx. We are wondering if anyone has any suggestions for doing this when the data is stored in one field. Thanks, Roger A.
