If you are doing it inside of an action or inline action script,
You can do this:

If NVATTR_4 is something like "153.2.0.21 912039191 10234 10235"
then you can do:
    set $NVATTR_4
    and $1 = 153.2.0.21
        $2 = 912039191
        $3 = 10234
        $4 = 10235
    so you will be able to say:
        IPADDR=$1
    (after the set command)

If you are doing the comparison in the pass on match node, $4.1 is the
address.
$4.2 is the time (in seconds since January 1, 1970)  $4.3 is the Object ID
of the
parent object (in Netview's object database) and $4.4 is the Object ID of
the interface.
