Whats wrong with this code?
Do While X = 0
strAns2 = InputBox _
("Enter IP Address of the Server:","Create File")
If strAns2 = "" Then
elseif Left(strAns2, 3) > "255" then
Wscript.Echo "Please enter a valid first octet Address."
elseif Mid(strAns2, 3, 3) > "255" then
Wscript.Echo "Please enter a valid second octet Address."
elseif Mid(strAns2, 6, 3) > "255" then
Wscript.Echo "Please enter a valid third octet Address."
elseif Right(strAns2, 3) > "255" then
Wscript.Echo "Please enter a valid fourth octet Address."
Exit Do
End If
Loop
The problem is defining the anything beyond the second octet. My input box allows me to enter an unformated IP Address and checks each octet for validity.....Well I would like it to anyway. The loop is to prevent you from bypassing this information in the event it is not entered or an invalid address range.
It check the first octet fine by fails on the second octet whether the octets range is valid or not.
GSun - the condition is that strAns2 is not nul
Lucien - The syntax for strAns2 is correct
Phillip B - Good try but your code produces the same error

well there looks to be a couple of things wrong with this code....
I don't think you need a while loop to do this. if you only want to check to see if the server's IP address is formatted correctly, just use an if statement. There is no need for a while loop.
Code I would use to check the input:
strAns2 = InputBox _
("Enter IP Address of the Server:","Create File")
If strAns2 = "" Then
elseif Left(strAns2, 3) > "255" then
Wscript.Echo "Please enter a valid first octet Address."
elseif Mid(strAns2, 3, 3) > "255" then
Wscript.Echo "Please enter a valid second octet Address."
elseif Mid(strAns2, 6, 3) > "255" then
Wscript.Echo "Please enter a valid third octet Address."
elseif Right(strAns2, 3) > "255" then
Wscript.Echo "Please enter a valid fourth octet Address."
End If
Hope this helps.

In most languages there is a difference between '=' and '=='.
Th first is an assignation operator, the second compares things.
So I think your
If strAns2 = ""
should be
If strAns2 == ""
