Hello All,
Can someone show me how to cat "only the IP address of e1000g0" using ifconfig -a.
i am trying to grep only the ip address (xx.xx.xx.xx) from the bunch of all other things like, broadcast address, IPV4, UP........and so on.

thanks

Try this:

Code:

ifconfig -a | awk '/e1000g0/{p=1}p&&/inet addr/{sub(".*:", "", $2);print $2;exit}'

Use nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk on Solaris.
