Question/Problem/Abstract:
How do I convert a 6 place IP address into a four place IP address and a port number?
Answer:



Some older internet protocols ( such as FTP ) send IP address's and port numbers in a 6 place format such as XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.XX.XXX  To Convert this into the usable 4 section IP address and port number, use the following code.

Procedure LongIPToShort(aLongIPAddress : String; Out    ShortIPAddress : String; out PortNumber : Integer);
var I, DotPos, tempPort : Integer;
var tempAddy, temp : String;
var TempStr : String;
begin
tempAddy := '';
tempStr := '';
//Determine if the sender of the long IP is using , or . as the
// Delimator

if (POS(',', aLongIPAddress) <> 0) then TempStr := ','
else TempStr := '.';

For I := 1 to 4 do
  begin
    DotPOS := POS(TempStr, aLongIPAddress);
    tempAddy := tempAddy + (Copy(aLongIPAddress, 1, (DotPos - 1)));
    If I <> 4 then TempADdy := TempAddy + '.';
    Delete(aLongIpAddress, 1, DotPos);
  end;
DotPos := Pos(TempStr, aLongIpAddress);
temp := Copy(aLongIpAddress, 1, (DotPos - 1));
tempPort := (StrToInt(temp) * 256);
Delete(aLongIpAddress, 1, DotPos);
TempPort := tempPort + StrToInt(ALongIpAddress);
ShortIPAddress := TempADdy;
PortNumber := tempPort;
end;
