Hello

Here's an interesting seemingly simple question:

Is the IP address 172.18.13.127 between 172.17.0.0 and 172.19.0.0  ?   (note the comparison values can change)

more generally stated is IP address1 between IP address2 and IP address3

An IP address is a binary number -

how to convert the IP string to a binary and then do a binary comparison in PowerScript?

Thanks

Many thanks.

Conferrin' with the flowers,
Consulting with the rain;
And my head I'd be a scratchin'
While my thoughts are busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.  "

Hi, Yakov -

If the first of the four numbers of an IPv4 address is considered to be the most significant, and the four numbers are designated as n1, n2, n3 and n4, then converting to an UnsignedLong value is relatively simple:

(((((n1*256)+n2)*256)+n3)*256)+n4

Best regards, John
