TextToColumns gets me a #VALUE error.
The code is:

Public Function Text2Columns(ByVal input2use As Range)
Dim output As Range
output = Range("NATDump!B1")
input2use.TextToColumns output, , , , , , , True
End Function

Justin,
How far does TextToColumns get you ?
Or look into Regular Expressions.

You want to resolve a host name from an IP address ?

So I want to take information that I get via a web query in Excel and
break it up.
The data currently looks like this:
InternalIP:Port ExternalIP:80 OUT masqueraded to FirewalIP:29176
timeout 6555
I would like to have each column give me this data:
InternalIP
InternalIP Port
External IP
In/Out
FirewallIP Port

The first part is easy, I can just do left(13) or so. But I would
rather do this programmatically so that it automatically updates
spreadsheet B with the new data after spreadsheet A does an import.
Ideally, I would like it to run a DNS lookup as well.

Any thoughts? If it's easier, I might just write a program to do it.
