Which terminal command to get just IP address and nothing else?

Question

I\'m trying to use just the IP address (inet) as a parameter in a script I wrote.

Is there an easy way in a unix terminal to get just the IP address, rather than loo

Answer 1

In man hostname there is even more easier way which automatically excluding loopback IP and showing only space separated list of all assigned to host ip addresses:

root@srv:~# hostname --all-ip-addresses
11.12.13.14 192.168.15.19 

root@srv:~# ip a
1: lo:  mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
   link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
   inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
   inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
   valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: venet0:  mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN 
  link/void 
  inet 11.12.13.14/32 scope global venet0:0
  inet 192.168.15.19/32 scope global venet0:1
