Charles:
You apparently did not read the whole message. I was trying to help Bob
Hartung from a previous post who is trying to get cut to pull a dynamic IP
address from ifconfig. I am not a scripter just a 4 1/2 year Linux user. I
thought he might be able to work with this one to employ cut. Give him a
hand if you can. Here is his original post if you don't have it:

Hi,
Progress slow but sure. Got everything running withh
diald - not sure why it works but it does. There was
recently a message using grep, cut and ifconfig output to
pluck a dynamically assigned IP address to use in
firewalls. Does someone have the message. I can get it to
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Bcast but can't figure out the last cut
where the delimiter is a blank.
Thanks
Bob
