Following is my ifconfig output

How do I use grep to extract the IP address corresponding to each LAN card?

Is that possible? How can it be achieved?

$ ip -o addr show | awk '/inet/ {print $2, $3, $4}'
lo inet 127.0.0.1/8
lo inet6 ::1/128
eth0 inet 192.168.0.1/24
eth0 inet6 fe80::2a0:feed:dead:beef/64
