Question Searching and replacing in a string based character occurence

Hey,

I have an IP address and I need to manipulate the final octet in a few different ways. For example,

I have:

Code:
str = 10.100.100.0


And I want to end up with:

Code:
newStr1 = 10.100.100.

Code:
newStr2 = 10.100.100.1


Now the IP address length may vary so I can't spilt up on string length, I need to split up after the 3rd occurence of '.' .

In PHP I'd use substr_replace but I can't find a Ruby equivilant.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Send a message via AIM to L7Sqr
Code:
irb(main):001:0> s = "10.1.1.1"
=> "10.1.1.1"
irb(main):002:0> a = s.split '.'
=> ["10", "1", "1", "1"]
irb(main):003:0> a
=> ["10", "1", "1", "1"]
irb(main):004:0> a[3] = "200"
=> "200"
irb(main):005:0> a.join '.'
=> "10.1.1.200"


Or you can use ruby's 'intelligence' to your advantage:
Code:
irb(main):001:0> s = "10.1.1.1"
=> "10.1.1.1"
irb(main):002:0> s.next
=> "10.1.1.2"
