hi all... i'm trying to remove all HTML tags when i run the following command

curl -s http://checkip.dyndns.org | grep "Current IP Address"

searched the web but nothing i could understand came up...

found this command too which is supposed to do the same thing but i'm useless abt awk...

wget -q -O /dev/stdout http://checkip.dyndns.org/ | grep 'Current IP Address: ' | awk ' { print $4 } '

can anyone help?

My sed/awk is kind of rusty too, put here's a perl solution (to find the ip, which seems to be what you're tying to do):

curl -s http://checkip.dyndns.org | perl -ne '/Current IP Address: ([\d\.]+)/si && print $1'

Adjust ()'s to suit taste.
