Simpler, and more obvious to read:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | awk '{if ( $0 ~ /inet addr:/ ) {print substr($2,6)}}'
That's only obvious to the couple of people who speak awk... (Probably about the same number that use the C shell that started this problem).
With more generic regexps it would be:
ifconfig eth0 |sed -n -e 's/(.*inet addr:)([0-9.]*)(.*)/\2/p'
