How to differentiate the IP Address

I have a small problem.
I am unable to split the Ip Address.
for eg. 123.123.123.123. I want to have it in the fashion a=123, b=123,c=123, d=123 having separated bythe dot(.)

use the split function in VB6 which will split the into an array for you

Heres code that will do it

Dim Myarray() as string
Dim Mystring
Mystring = "123.123.123.123"
Myarray = Split(Mystring, ".")
MsgBox Myarray(0)
MsgBox Myarray(1)
MsgBox Myarray(2)
MsgBox Myarray(3)
