For the sake of looking for a "command" that might do this, i whipped up
this long one-liner:
ifconfig | perl -nle 'print $1 if(/(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})/)'
note that this will print the first ip address it finds of each line
seperated by a newline, so be prepared to handle more than one.
