EEPROM Serial Print questions, and formatting

Other Hardware Storage
1

Total newbie here, just a fair warning..

I'm looking to store an IP address into EEPROM. The IP is then read back from the EEPROM in serial.print fashion.
Would I format this code to make it display the IP address on a single line, seperated by ".", like this:

IP Address
"192.168.24.253"

Ultimately this is a bigger project planned with the following goals:

  1. Have user input to change/enter IP, Gateway, etc..
  2. network information gets stored into EEPROM
  3. will work from a server-based ethernet interface

The current I have shows the output like this:
IP Address
192
168
24

Any helpful tips would be appreciated!

#include <EEPROM.h>
#include "EXROM.h"



void setup()
{
  
  byte IP[] = {192,168,24,1};
  byte IPsize[sizeof(IP)];
  
  Serial.begin(9600);
  
 
EXROM.write(0, IP, sizeof(IP));         //write the IP to memory 
  
  
 EXROM.read(0, IPsize, sizeof(IPsize));  //read the IP from memory
 
 Serial.println("IP ADDRESS");
     for(int i=0;i<sizeof(IP);i++)
  {
    Serial.println(IP[i], DEC);
  }

Your sample code writes the IP address to exrom and reads it back into IPsize but then prints out the original from IP.
Try this code:

#include <EEPROM.h>
#include "EXROM.h"

void setup()
{

  byte IP[] = {192,168,24,1};
  byte IPsize[sizeof(IP)];

  Serial.begin(9600);

  EXROM.write(0, IP, sizeof(IP));         //write the IP to memory 
  EXROM.read(0, IPsize, sizeof(IPsize));  //read the IP from memory

  Serial.print("IP ADDRESS ");
  for(int i=0;i<sizeof(IPsize);i++)
  {
    Serial.print(IPsize[i], DEC);
    if(i != 3)Serial.print(".");
  }
  Serial.print("\n");
}

void loop(void)
{
}

I can't test the code with exrom but it prints IPsize like this when written to eeprom and read back again:
IP ADDRESS 192.168.24.1

Thank You, your code works well.

Shortly after I posted this, I figured out a couple things -- one thing being the difference between "print" & "println" ( I warned you that I was a newbie); so I got closer on my own..

Then I went further to add the periods, but took a different turn using a FOR loop (which added too many periods, etc..).

I may post more questions as I move along with my program -- thanks again..
