Awk/grep

Basically what I'm trying to do is pull the first three octets from the ipaddr out of ifconfig

Code:
ifconfig eth0 |awk -F" " '{ print $2 }'|grep addr: |awk -F":" '{ print $2 }'| awk -F"." '{print $1"."$2"."$3}'

keeps giving me

Code:
192.168.0
..

and I can not for the life of me get rid of the bottom half (the ..'s)

You could probably add one more pipeline:
Code:
... | head -1

But there may be a shorter way depending on your OS.

I.e. in Redhat:
Code:
$ hostname -I

Which OS are you using?

Code:
root@bt:~# ifconfig eth0 |grep "inet addr" |awk -F":" '{print$2}'|awk -F"." '{print $1"."$2"."$3}'
192.168.0
root@bt:~# inet=$?
root@bt:~# echo "$inet"
0


my head is going to explode

You're testing the result of the command with $?, not the output. If you want to store the output:
Code:
inet=$(...)

i.e.
Code:
$ inet=$(ip addr show eth0 | awk -F"[ /]" '/inet /{print $6}')
$ echo $inet

I'm trying to trim off that last octet so I can input the variable inet.* and run a nmap on specific ports.

Wait a tick, I see what you did. Thank you!

I've just started using awk. At the moment I only know how to grab fields. So the fancy things you're doing, I have no idea. This works though, thank's a bunch!
