I don't understand: what are you trying to achieve?
By which criteria do you want to extract the individual
IP addresses, and what do you intend to do with the
output? All addresses just separated by an extra new-
line? Or what? :}

Cheers,
Tink

Code:

sed -e "s/ /\\n/g" myfileipaddress

That'll do it

It's not awk but it's close.
