Get your local IP regardless of your network interface

Shows only IP-addresses of ifconfig except 127.0.0.0/8. I fixed the script to work on more systems and configs short info /inet/!d; #grep inet /127.0/d; # grep -v 127.0 /dr:\s/d; # grep -v dr: s/^.*:$.*$B.*$/\1/ # remove everything exept between : and B

show your private/local ip address

Gets the IP addresses of all interfaces except loopback. Cuts out all of the extra text. Shorter than the other options, and much easier to type. 'ifconfig | grep cast' is enough to get the IP address, but it doesn't strip the rest of the junk out. Show Sample Output

Get your local IP regardless of your network interface

This also works on non-Linux machines. If you have GNU sed you can do it more elegantly: ifconfig | sed -n 's/^\s*inet $addr:$\?$[^\s]*$ .*/\2/;T;/^127\./d;p'
This is sample output - yours may be different.

diff will usually only take one file from STDIN. This is a method to take the result of two streams and compare with diff. The example I use to compare two iTunes libraries but it is generally applicable.

diff is designed to compare two files. You can also compare directories. In this form, bash uses 'process substitution' in place of a file as an input to diff. Each input to diff can be filtered as you choose. I use find and egrep to select the files to compare.
