Hello, <br />
<br />
Before continuing please excuse my ignorance on this topic because i am relative new to Unix.<br />
<br />
I am trying to get my ip-address from <a href="http://checkip.dyndns.org" rel="ugc">http://checkip.dyndns.org</a>&nbsp;through some way in Linux shell. Basically what i want to do is retrieve my ip address that is generated in the index.html file if i browse to that specific site.<br />
<br />
I have tried doing a wget <a href="http://checkip.dyndns.org" rel="ugc">http://checkip.dyndns.org</a>&nbsp;and i downloaded the index.html file which contains my correct ip-address inside, but i am not able to retrieve (parse) the html file to get only the IP.<br />
<br />
Is there any way you can help me to do this.<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance.
