Remarks

In order to inspect the name of the country where the IP address is registered,
Download http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoIPCountryCSV.zip
unzip and place the extracted CSV file in the same folder in Macros sub folder of the EmEditor installed folder. This is usually %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\EmEditor\Macros if you install per user, or C:\Program Files\EmEditor\Macros if you install per computer. It is recommended to download and update the above file periodically since the database is updated frequently.
