Hey guys,
I got everything working per your discussion with one barely evening
annoying hiccup... Pbcopy adds a newline character to the copied IP
address. The result is that if you past it into the terminal, it
interprets it immediately as a command -- that is, hitting ctrl+v is
equivalent to typing 10.0.1.2 and hitting enter. I thought I might be
able to take care of it with regex, but this didn't work:
ipconfig getifaddr en1 | egrep "^([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}$" |
pbcopy
I can live with the newline char, but if anyone has a quick fix, I'd
appreciate it. (I'm also pretty new to regex so if anyone has
suggestions, please share them.)
