Retrieve public IP - z0ny - 2004-05-04

Here's a command that shows your public IP, no matter whether you're behind a router: :)

Code:
wget -q www.whatismyip.com && grep displaycopy index.html|cut -d\' -f2 && rm -f index.html

Retrieve public IP - anyweb - 2007-09-21

the above scrfipt doesnt seem to work anymore, perhaps because www.whatismyip.com have changed their code, (looking in index.html tells you to use a different url)

so i modified it slightly so now it reads

Code:
wget -q www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp && cat n09230945.asp && rm -f n09230945.asp

which does display the ip but it's badly formatted,

Quote:[anyweb@localhost ~]$ wget -q www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp && cat n09230945.asp && rm -f n09230945.asp81.235.240.204[anyweb@localhost ~]$

so who can tidy it up ?

cheers

I updated the command ;)

Code:
elinks --dump www.whatismyip.com | grep -i "Your IP Is" | awk '{ print $4 }'

Not to sound a bit funny but why update the command when mine still works just perfectly? Also you are using the main URL which anyweb has already pointed out doesn't wish automation!

Code:
$ wget -q http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp -O - && echo

Still works fine!
