Want to put IP address v4 of my specifically named adapter into a variable using Powershell

I have several network adapters on my PC.

I want to simply get the IP Address v4 (with no headers or extras) of the adapter called a specific name and store it into a variable for further use.

I am able to return the IP Address with headers but not what I want.

Please Help - thanks.

Here is what I tried:

$ipa = Get-NetIPAddress |
    Where-Object { $_.IfIndex -eq 19 -and $_.InterfaceAlias -eq "LAN2" -and $_.AddressFamily -eq "IPv4" } |
    Select-Object { $_.IPAddress }

Edit:

$ipa = Get-NetIPAddress |  where {$_.InterfaceAlias -eq "LAN2" -and    
$_.AddressFamily -eq "IPv4"} | select -expandproperty ipaddress

The above code is returning both my wired adaptors' addresses but it is returning just the Ip address at least and nothing else (thanks Anthony)

There is ONLY one called "LAN2" - i only need that one - so still stuck

Update : Austin Frenchs second solution works great - will test Owls today later - thanks everyone so far - great helpful community

simple one liner

(Get-NetIPConfiguration).ipv4address | where {$_.InterfaceAlias -eq "Lan2"} | foreach { write-host $_.ipaddress}

get from enabled network

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -Filter IPEnabled=TRUE  | select Ipaddress

only from particular adapter and ipv4

Get-WMIObject win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | 
  Where-Object { $_.IPEnabled -eq $true } | 
  Foreach-Object { $_.IPAddress } | 
  Foreach-Object { [IPAddress]$_ } | 
  Where-Object { $_.AddressFamily -eq 'LAN2'  } | 
  Foreach-Object { $_.IPAddressToString }

Without access to get-netipaddress, here is a very dirty and long one liner. Change out "Local Area Connection" for your network's name.

((([System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface]::GetAllNetworkInterfaces() | ? {$_.Name -eq  "Local Area Connection"}).GetIPProperties() | Select-Object -ExpandProperty 'UniCastAddresses' | ? {$_.IPv4Mask -ne
"0.0.0.0"}) | Select Address).Address.IPAddressToString

With Get-netIpAddress, I suspect this would also work:

$ipa = (Get-NetIPAddress |
    Where-Object { $_.IfIndex -eq 19 -and $_.InterfaceAlias -eq "LAN2" -and $_.AddressFamily -eq "IPv4" } | `
    Select-Object { $_.IPAddress }).IPAddress

You can accomplish what you are looking for by first getting a list of all network adapters on the machine using get-wmiobject, selecting the name you want, then piping it to get-netipaddress and then selecting the IPAddress property as shown below.

(Get-WmiObject win32_networkadapter | Where-Object {$_.name -eq "YOUR_NAME"} | Get-NetIPAddress).IPAddress
