Split & Join inside an inline template should work well. For eg., $nsip=inline_template('<%= ipaddress.split(".")[0..1].collect{|x| x}.join(".") %>')
This will split an ip address, say 192.168.1.3, split it at each occurrence of a "." and will join the first two numbers ( referenced as [0..1] ), to give 192.168. So, in your case, I guess something like <%= ipaddress.split(".")[1] %> should work.
