you stripped one of the awks out of the command:

ifconfig ppp0 | grep "inet addr" | awk '{ print $2 }' | awk 'BEGIN { FS=":" } { print $2 }' | awk ' BEGIN { FS="." } { print $1 "." $2 "." $3 ".0" }'

A bat file? Man, I hope that was said tongue-in-cheek. It may not be apparent yet, but the bash shell is incredibly more powerful, capable and flexible than any bat file.

I used to write very elaborate bat files, but now I get depressed on the rare occasion I am that limited.
