specify "dn" as the attribute to return - just add it to the end of the 
command line - also add -LLL to the ldapsearch command line to make it 
less verbose
you will then have output like
dn: somedn
blank line
repeat.....

You will have to use sed/awk/perl to strip the "dn: " from the DNs, and 
ignore the blank lines
