formatting input on different lines 2

[screwloose]

lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000


Given the above line from ifconfig, how do I get it so it prints like this (there are multiple adapters (6) in the server, too, besides the loopback, that need formatted):
lo0: 127.0.0.1

Thanks!

Something like this ?
ifconfig -a | '$1~/:$/{f=$1;getline;print f,$2}'

Hope This Helps, PH.

or something like this:

ifconfig -a | nawk -F '[: ]' '/flags=/ { inter=$1; next} {print inter, $2}'
