I'm trying to get just the local IP of my Arch VM. I've managed to get just the line containing what I want with grep, but I also want to trim it down with sed.



inet <<192.168.0.16>>/24 brd 192.1680.255 scope global enp0s3 $ I want the IP in <<>>
ip addr show | grep 'inet ' | sed -n -e 's/^.*inet (.*)/.*$/1/p'
-n # print nothing by default
s # replacement command
^ # begin line
.* # anything
inet # inet and then a space
(.*) # capture anything
/ # end capture at the / that comes before 24
.* # anything
$ # end
1 # replace all that with the first capture group which should be the IP
p # print the output


But as soon as I add the sed, it gives me nothing. I assume something is wrong with my regex.

This is easier to do with awk than grep and sed:



ip addr show eth0 | awk '/inet / print $2'


If you want to strip the CIDR netmask from the IP:



ip addr show eth0 | awk '/inet / gsub(//.*/,"",$2); print $2'


Note that an interface may have more than one IP address - e.g. ip addr show br0 | awk '/inet / print $2' on my system has 11 IPv4 addresses, some of them being public IP addresses and some of them RFC1918 private addresses.
