determining if a string is an ip address or a hostname?

[Red Squirrel]

This code calls up a lot of custom stuff that won't compile but may be of help to know how to go about it:

	bool ValidateIP(string ip)
	{
		xVector<string> exploded = Parser::Explode(ip,".");
		
		if(exploded.GetSize()!=4)return false;
		
		string tmp;
		for(int i=0;exploded.Get(tmp,i);i++)
		{
			int octet = BitStream::Str2Int(tmp);
			if(octet<0 || octet>255)return false;
		}
		
		return true;
	}

Basically you want to explode the string by ".", then make sure that all you have is 4 ints, and that they are between 0 and 255.
