Thanks that gave me my desired results :) Though I am not sure, why that works and mine did not. Time to read about chomp and re-read about get again. Then just need to figure out the last thing to not record a duplicate IP in the file.	[reply]

Glad it worked! I'm guessing that the issue was mainly the site you were using, as `http://icanhazip.com/` returns just a plain external IP address.	[reply] [d/l]
