[Gambas-user] Obtain my IP with Gambas

[Steven James Drinnan]

You could try this

DIM mycmd AS String
DIM myIP AS String


mycmd = "ifconfig| grep -w 'inet addr' | grep -v '127.0.0.1' | cut -d:
-f2| awk '{print $1}'"

SHELL mycmd TO myip

PRINT myip

Have not confirmed what it returns but by the looks it returns the local
assigned ip. Not the wan side.
