Parse ifconfig to get only my IP address using Bash

Question

I want to edit the bashrc file to have a simple function called \"myip\" to run. As you might guess, the function myip prints only my internal IP address of my machine.

Answer 1

In case of eth0, the following works for me. Try to tweak it with the same logic.

ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr:' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}'
