It's a function called "SubString" that's similar to the .NET String class'
SubString method. In the case of .NET, there are two method overloads:
PS C:\windows\system32> 'asdf'.Substring
OverloadDefinitions
-------------------
string Substring(int startIndex)
string Substring(int startIndex, int length)
In the first overload, it simply retrieves everything from startIndex to the
end of the string.
In the second overload, it retrieves everything from startIndex, for the
number of characters specified in the length parameter.
There isn't really any "math" going on here. Just simple string
manipulation. Using SubString for the purposes of parsing an IP address is a
really bad idea though, because the IP address is variable length. What if
the octet wasn't three characters long? I'd recommend using the Split()
method instead.
'10.11.12.13'.Split('.')[3]; # Yields the last octet, whose value is 13

Can someone explain to me what this is doing? Specifically how does
"$mysubnet=SubStr($myaddress,5,3)" become "$mysubnet="200""? I assume it's
doing some math there or something????
$myaddress=@ipaddress0
$mysubnet=SubStr($myaddress,5,3)
