Code:
user@host> (/home/user) $ /sbin/ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 158.155.34.123 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 158.155.255.255
user@host> (/home/user) $ /sbin/ifconfig -a|awk '{if($1=="hme0:"){interface=1} if(interface==1 && $1=="inet"){print $2}}'
158.155.34.123
user@host> (/home/user) $

Here is the output of Solaris ifconfig and logic to get the IP of required interface, in my case hme0 is the interface

Code:
 /sbin/ifconfig -a|awk '{if($1=="hme0:"){interface=1} if(interface==1 && $1=="inet"){print $2}}'

you have to change hme0 to e1000g0. The logic you have used may not work when you have more interface with broadcast enabled.
