Re: Getting the Leftmost 7 Characters of String

You could use split() to break it up into the separate bytes, then recombine whichever pieces you need. list ($b1, $b2, $b3, $b4) = split ("\.", $REMOTE_ADDR); so if $REMOTE_ADDR == "192.168.1.1", $b1 == 192 $b2 == 168 $b3 == 1 $b4 == 1 Hope this helps!
