Need help assigning an IP address to a Varible

Hello to the ruby world I was hoping to get a bit of guidance... I
have the following code below that logs int to a cisco router and
performs a command:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'net/ssh'

HOST = '143.132.16.43'
USER = ''
PASS = ''

puts "Give me the ip address" #(user enters 159.202.161.0)
@ipadd = gets

Net::SSH.start( HOST, USER, :password => PASS ) do|ssh|
ssh.exec('sho ip route ' + @ipadd)

end

Below is the output form the above code (without the ##):

AMP_STL_Intra_SW4#sho ip route 159.202.161.0
Routing entry for ##159.202.161.0##/25
Known via "connected", distance 0, metric 0 (connected, via interface)
Routing Descriptor Blocks:
* directly connected, via Vlan307
Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1

AMP_STL_Intra_SW4#

I would like to scan this output and assign only the IP address between
the ##'s to a variable for further use. I am new to programming so I'm
sure this is amateur Any help is mush appreciated.
