getting IP address of router

[jim ruxton]

Thanks Lennart,
I tried this:

# curl -s -o - http://www.myip.dk|tail -1|sed -e 's%.* IP:
\(.*\)</title>.*%\1%'

and for some reason where I should be left with just the IP address some
of the rest of the page appears. I can't figure out why. Any idea why
I'm not left with just the IP number?? The text before and directly
after the IP number is stripped away but some of the file remains. Here
is the output I get:

66.229.220.69�</font><br>       <input type="text" name="ip"><br>      
<input type="submit"
value="Konverter"></form></center><p> <center><p><form
method="post" action="/CMyip.dll?DoReverseFormConvert2"
name="form1"><font size="2" face="Verdana">Skriv hostname'et du vil have
IP'en p�</font><br>   <input type="text" name="hostname"><br> <input
type="submit"
value="Konverter"></form></center><p> <center><p><form
method="post" action="/CMyip.dll?DoDecFormConvert" name="form1"><font
size="2" face="Verdana">Skriv IP'en du vil have lavet om til decimal
form:</font><br>    <input type="text" name="ip"><br>  <input
type="submit"
value="Konverter"></form><br><br><br></center></body><!--   I Love you
