If you look in the output I'm expecting all :'s to be replaced with -'s. This worked for $mac1 but not for $mac2. Not sure what you mean by I'll need to copy the value(especially when I didn't need to for the first variable?). Thanks for looking into this.

$2 is undefined when you assign it to $mac2 because you ran another regex in between, and that regex cleared $2. Assign $2 to $mac2 before the substitution, and it will work OK.	[reply]
