When we did this, the database table had a start and end IP address range
column.
The IP addresses were entered into the table as integers without the dots. I’m
not sure but I think we might have put a “1” at the beginning of the IP address
integers so that everything stayed 13 digits (ie the

Sorry, it’s been a really busy day here.
I can’t get back to this problem until tomorrow.
Don’t drag out your C code just yet,
I have some ideas to try.
Thanks,

Hi Rick,
I had missed the fact that you said you already had the database - that
makes it a much easier problem :-)
While I don't have any Livecode code for this, I do have some C code for
a (probably) very similar problem.
If you can describe the format of your database, and the query you
Hi Martin,
Thanks for the information, but what I really want is a LiveCode solution
that doesn’t depend on third parties.
I have the database. I was asking if other people here
had come up with a fast LiveCode solution.
If all else fails, I will look into one of the third party suggestions,
You can use a website with a api that you send a HTTP request with an IP

Hi Bob,
Yes, that website illustrates what I’m trying to do, but
I really need my own code for this.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Is that a fixed thing? Can it ever change? Seems like there must be a web site
for that. I found https://www.ipvoid.com/ip-to-country/. They may license the

Greetings LiveCoders,
I’m trying to set up an LC Server routine

I’m sure someone here must have done
something similar in the past and I was
