Re: Converting MAC Address

How about this?

my $value = "8:0:20:0:2:10";

print join "", map { sprintf "%02s", $_ } split /:/, $value;

print sprintf "%02s%02s%02s%02s%02s%02s", split /:/, $value;
[download]

Updated as per merlyn's and sauoq's comments below (changed %02d to %02s).

perl -le 'print+unpack("N",pack("B32","00000000000000000000001000010100"))'

%02d won't work. these are hex values. See my solution instead. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]

Careful. The `%d` format is for signed integers in decimal. The better choice would be `%s`. -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";	[reply] [d/l] [select]
