Answer 1

In case the input of your findstr command should not be the result of ipconfig, you could use the following line of code to look for an ip-address in a text or csv file.

findstr /r "\<[0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\>" filename.txt

It adds to metacharacters to the answer of user Joey. "\<" at the beginning and ">" at the end. Even though such a string might not be very common (or very unlikely to occur) this makes sure that no string in an ip-address-like format but with an alphabetic character at the end and/or the beginning (e.g. A198.252.206.16 or 198.252.206.16A) is returned.
