The harder way:
Decimal: 1089055123 Hex (dashes inserted at octals): 40-E9-A9-93 Decimal (of each octet): 64-233-169-147 IP Address: 64.233.169.147
The Python way
import socket, struct socket.inet_ntoa(struct.pack('>l', 1089055123)) '64.233.169.147'
The Perl way: sub ntoa { my $one = shift; my $four = $one & 0xff; $one >>= 8; my $three = $one & 0xff; $one >>= 8; my $two = $one & 0xff; $one >>= 8; return "$one.$two.$three.$four"; } #or in one line, like ipcalc does: sub ntoa_in_one_line { join(".", unpack("CCCC", pack("N", $_[0]))); } print ntoa(1089055123) . "\n"; print ntoa_in_one_line(1089055123) . "\n"; Cheers, Andree -- Andree Toonk http://www.toonk.ca/blog/
