Question : Find Local IP in batch file

This is the only section of the script that doesn't work. It does pull the IP, but it outputs the IP with a leading space which kills the rest of my script.

Ex.
192.168.1.100
When it needs to be
192.168.1.100

What am I doing wrong here? The rest of my script works well.

Code Snippet:

         
             ::discover the local IP
:LOCALIP
for /f "tokens=2* delims=:" %%a in ('ipconfig ^| find "IP Address"') do set LOCALIP=%%a
echo %localip%

Answer : Find Local IP in batch file

You can get rid of the space, either by using a substring to chop off the first character, e.g.
set localip=%localip:~1%

or by using substitution to remove all spaces from the variable, e.g.
set localip=%localip: =%
