Ever wanted to quickly copy/paste your current IP address into an application? Now you can, using a relatively simple Automator Service in Snow Leopard.

Just download this file (75KB) and save as a service in Automator. This will add a new service called Get Current IP. This script gets the current default IP interface (for multi-homed systems), then pastes that result into the current app.

[robg adds: I haven't tried this one.]

Useful - presumably this just shows the default IP address of the default/first interface?

This one gets the ip address of the first active interface:

This script actually uses netstat to determine the current default route for your Mac, and then it shows that interface's IP address. So if for instance, the default interface changes, it will show the new IP.

Well, after this screwed up Services...(it just reads: Building.... now).
How do I get it back to actually just showing the useful Services that I use....???
