B4R Question Best way how to save IP address as Global - globalstore?

[petr4ppc]

Dear friends, please for help,

I get IP address:

ip1() As Byte
Log ("Received IP:", ip1(0),".", ip1(1),".", ip1(2),".", ip1(3) )

And I want to save this IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx address as GLOBAL

I am trying

    Dim firstipnumber As String = ip1(0)
    Log(GlobalStore.Slot0,"-", ip1(0)) 'get the value from IP1(0)
    Dim ipsaved as String
    Dim cbt(3) As Byte
    byteconvert.ArrayCopy2(GlobalStore.Slot0,0,cbt,0,3)
    ipsaved= byteconvert.StringFromBytes(cbt)
    Log("ipsaved=",ipsaved)
    If firstipnumber =ipsaved Then
            Log("****Same IP was received")
        Else
            Log("****It is differnet IP", "- and this value go to Global:",GlobalStore.Slot0)
            GlobalStore.Put(0,firstipnumber) 'store value in slot #0
    End If

this is functioned...but I dont know if that is good direction how to do it..
because IP address can be f.e. 192.145.3.5 or 192.168.137.15
and I must recognized if declaration is Dim cbt(3) As Byte or Dim cbt(2) As Byte or Dim cbt(1) As Byte

then I want to use this received IP for sending pockets via UDP:

usocket.BeginPacket(ip, port)
usocket.Write("value1")
usocket.SendPacket

Please for advice what is the best way for saving IP address as GLOBAL and I think that later I will save it to eeprom.
Thank you very much

I don't understand your code. Why do you need to copy the array? Why not use GlobalStore.Slot0 directly?

Why are you converting the bytes to string? You can log the bytes directly.

Thank you for your answer,

I am trying possibilities. I did many dumb mistakes and I was on the bad way because I think after this days that I am not smart...

Yes, after some days playing with udp I must write that this is perfect functioned:

****Example1 - functioned
EDIT:

Private ipudp() As Byte = Array As Byte(192, 168, 137, 214) ' this functioned
GlobalStore.Put(0,ip1)

dim port as Unit = 5000
usocket.BeginPacket(GlobalStore.slot0, port)
usocket.Write("Hallo1")
usocket.SendPacket  '----------------- functioned

but this is not functioned because of some my mistake...why please:


****Example2

Private Sub usocket_PacketArrived (Data() As Byte, ip1() As Byte, port1 As UInt)
Log ("Received:",Data, " from IP:" , ip1(0),".", ip1(1),".", ip1(2),".", ip1(3) ) '-I see right address

If GlobalStore.Slot0=ip1 Then '-----------------NOT functioned
  dim port as Unit = 5000
  usocket.BeginPacket(GlobalStore.slot0, port)
  usocket.Write("Hallo1")
  usocket.SendPacket  '----------------- without IF - functioned
 else
  GlobalStore.Put(0,ip1)
End if

End sub

maybe this can be smartest solution of example2 ?

Dim ip As String
dim ipad as String

ip= ip1(0)
ipad=JoinStrings(Array As String(ip))
ip= ip1(1)
ipad=JoinStrings(Array As String(ipad,".",ip))
ip= ip1(2)
ipad=JoinStrings(Array As String(ipad,".",ip))
ip= ip1(3)
ipad=JoinStrings(Array As String(ipad,".",ip))
Log("Ip address IS=",ipad)

ip= GlobalStore.Slot0(0)
ipad2=JoinStrings(Array As String(ip))
ip= GlobalStore.Slot0(1)
ipad2=JoinStrings(Array As String(ipad,".",ip))
ip= GlobalStore.Slot0(2)
ipad2=JoinStrings(Array As String(ipad,".",ip))
ip= GlobalStore.Slot0(3)
ipad2=JoinStrings(Array As String(ipad,".",ip))
Log("Ipaddress from Globalstore is=",ipad2)
If ipad=ipad2 then log("Functioned")

******************** Example3
and can you please give me advice ...How to save IP from JSON to Globalstore? And how to convert this received IP
for sending UDP?

If I receive IP from JSON, I get

Sub JobDone (Job As JobResult)
Dim MaxSize As Int = 20
Dim buffer(MaxSize) As Byte
GetTextValueFromKey(jsontext, "ipfromjson", 0, buffer, MaxSize)
GlobalStore.Put(2,buffer)
Log("IP form json:",GlobalStore.Slot2) '----------------- Here I see right IP address

dim port as Unit = 5000
usocket.BeginPacket(GlobalStore.slot2, port)
usocket.Write("Hallo2")
usocket.SendPacket  '----------------- Not functioned because of my mistake
End sub

Thank you very much,
Best regards

[Erel]

GetTextValueFromKey(jsontext, "ipfromjson", 0, buffer, MaxSize)
GlobalStore.Put(2,buffer)
Log("IP form json:",GlobalStore.Slot2)

This looks correct.

Erel I hope that I am saying true,
but I had tried it many times, I think that here is something.....?

code edited:

GetTextValueFromKey(jsontext, "ipfromjson", 0, buffer, MaxSize)
GlobalStore.Put(2,buffer)
Log("IP form json:",GlobalStore.Slot2)                            ' I get 192.168.117.162
Log("IP form json length=",GlobalStore.Slot2.length)        ' 15

' then trying to send data:

Dim port As UInt=5000
usocket.BeginPacket(GlobalStore.slot2, port)                              'it is not functioned....
usocket.Write("Hallo1")
usocket.SendPacket
delay(5000)

usocket.BeginPacket(Array As Byte(192,168,117,162),port)        'this functioned
usocket.Write("Hallo2")
usocket.SendPacket
delay(5000)

Dim ipforcertain() As Byte = Array As Byte(192, 168, 117, 162)
GlobalStore.Put(2,ipforcertain)
usocket.BeginPacket(GlobalStore.slot2, portik)
usocket.Write("Hallo3")
usocket.SendPacket  '----                                                          this functioned
delay(5000)

My mistake. The error is expected.

The ip address needs to be 4 bytes, not a string representation of these bytes.

You can parse the string:

Dim IpString As String = "192.168.117.162"
Dim bc As ByteConverter
Dim ip(4) As Byte
Dim i As Int = 0
Dim bc As ByteConverter
For Each s() As Byte In bc.Split(IpString, ".")
   ip(i) = bc.StringFromBytes(s) 'bytes cannot be converted to numbers directly
   i = i + 1
Next
'test
For Each b As Byte In ip
   Log(b)
Next

Dear Mr.Erel,

thank you very much. As always yours advices are amazing.

I customized this code for my situation in rows:

Dim i As Int = 1 ' was Dim i As Int = 0

and

ipadresajakobyte(i-1) = bc.StringFromBytes(s) ' was ipadresajakobyte(i) = bc.StringFromBytes(s)

Because of test routine, now I see correct data of received IP instead of zeros

Thank you very much,
Best regards,
