Delphi: Breaking an IP down into a Difrent variable for each ocet

Well dont know how many delphi people we have around here but i know theres me and Goldfish. Heres my procedure

{ you may wish to store OC1-4 into global variables rather then into Local, if you wish to use them outside this procedure}
Procedure ChopIP;

var
Msg, UpTi, DTi, oc1, oc2, oc3, oc4 : string;
loc1, loc2, loc3, MsgL : integer;
begin

Msg := edit1.text; // Store the IP in Edit1.text to a variable
MsgL :=length(msg); // Store then Length of the IP for later use

oc1 := trim(Copy(Msg, 1 , Pos('.', msg)- 1)); //Takes the IP and stores the first occet into Oc1
Loc1 := length(oc1);
delete(msg, 1, loc1 + 1) ; //Deletes first occet and its '.'

oc2 := trim(copy(msg, 1, pos('.', msg) - 1 ));//Takes the IP and stores the second occet into Oc2
loc2 := length(oc2);
delete(msg, 1, Loc2 + 1); // Deletes second occet and its '.'

oc3 := trim(copy(msg, 1, pos('.', msg) - 1 )); //Takes the IP and stores Third ocet
Loc3 := length(oc3);
delete(msg, 1, Loc3 + 1); // Deletes third occet and its '.'

oc4 := trim(copy(msg, 1, msgl )); // Stores Fourth occet to Oc4
{Now you have each occet stored
into variables, you can increment,
test them, each indiviualy.
But before you can do that you
will need to apply StrToInt to each
occet so that it can be added too.
DO not try to apply StrToInt in the above while applying
it to the Oc variables as you cannot get the length of
and integer and it is criticle to this procedure
to be able to determin the length of each Occet}
end;

 

ah, was looking for that!
