Powershell, get ip4v address of VM

I'm new to powershell and I"m trying to get just the IPv4 address of a vm and save it as a string.

I can get all network attributes like so: 

PS C:\Windows\system32> get-vm | select -ExpandProperty networkadapters | select vmname, macaddress, switchname, ipaddres
sses

VMName                        MacAddress                    SwitchName                    IPAddresses
------                        ----------                    ----------                    -----------
foobar                                     vSwitch                       {192.0.2.1, fe80::84a...

I can get both the v4 and the v6 ip address

PS C:\Windows\system32> $IP = ( GEt-VM -ComputerName $HVCOMPUTERNAME -VMName $HVNAME | Get-VMNetworkAdapter).IpAddresses
PS C:\Windows\system32> $IP
192.0.2.1
fe80::d47e:
   ----------

How can I get just the v4 address as a string?

Update

It looks like there is no object property that just includes the v4 address

PS C:\Windows\system32> GEt-VM -ComputerName $HVCOMPUTERNAME -VMName $HVNAME | Get-VMNetworkAdapter | Format-List -Property *

IPAddresses looks like an array or list and you only want the first one so try:

$IP = ( GEt-VM -ComputerName $HVCOMPUTERNAME -VMName $HVNAME | Get-VMNetworkAdapter).IpAddresses[0]

Assuming there is only 1 V4 address, and that the v4 address is the first output, do: 

$IP = ( GEt-VM -ComputerName $HVCOMPUTERNAME -VMName $HVNAME | Get-VMNetworkAdapter).IpAddresses | Select-String -List 1

You can just filter out any IP that has ":" in it, as such:

$IP | ?{$_ -notmatch ':'}
