output is mac address is 28:8a:1c:59:cc:85 at mac is 28 8a 1c 59 cc 85 final mac is 28.8a.1c.59.cc.85 I am trying to convert "final mac" output to 288a.1c59.cc85. I think to do this we have to put "at mac" output to an array 1..2 3..4 5..6 concatenate and then use join function. Is there a better way to do this with in the join function itself, rather than first putting in a separate array
