    To be honest, the front end is storing the data incorrectly. The data should be sorted with just one IP address per row and, once the table is properly indexed, the lookups would be lightning fast and with no splitting needed. It would also make de-duping the data MUCH easier.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
