Re: Regular Expression for MAC Address

[MeowChow]

Are you trying to extract the address or just check for a match?

To check for a match:

/^([0-9a-f]{2}([:-]|$)){6}$/i

To extract the address:

@nums = split /[:-]/, $mac;

To match and extract an address whole, from a line containting other text:

/((?:[0-9a-f]{2}[:-]){5}[0-9a-f]{2})/i
