Hi Johan,
Try this:
SELECT SUBSTR('127.0.0.1',1,INSTR('127.0.0.1','.')-1)
,SUBSTR('127.0.0.1',INSTR('127.0.0.1','.')+1,INSTR('127.0.0.1','.',1,2)-(INSTR('127.0.0.1','.')+1))
,SUBSTR('127.0.0.1',INSTR('127.0.0.1','.',1,2)+1,INSTR('127.0.0.1','.',1,3)-(INSTR('127.0.0.1','.',1,2)+1))
,SUBSTR('127.0.0.1',INSTR('127.0.0.1','.',1,3)+1,LENGTH('127.0.0.1')-INSTR('127.0.0.1','.',1,3)+1)
FROM DUAL
There may be a more elegant solution, but this was the quickest I could come up with.
