which from the terminal works great - returns my IP. but when I do:
do shell script "ifconfig en0 | awk '/inet/{print $2}'"
the result is ""
any ideas?
try
do shell script "/sbin/ifconfig en0 | /usr/bin/awk '/inet/{print $2}'"
because ifconfig is in /sbin, which isn't in the default do
shell script path. you'd expect an error, but the pipe is
effectively silencing it.
awk is in the default path, but the advice some have given
to use a full path for every command seems better every day.
