Macro Request - MAC Address Format Change

Hi,

I work in IT and most of the times you have to deal with MAC addresses. However, different application accepts it in different format. So the request is, when I select the MAC address and press Macro hotkey it should cycle between these formats:

ab10cd20ef30
ab:10:cd:20:ef:30
ab-10-cd-20-ef-30
ab10.cd20.ef30

Thank you in advance and sorry for the trouble.

Thanks,

I put together a Macro that should work for you. If you highlight the MAC address you want to change and press a hotkey you set up, it will replace the highlighted text with the next format in the list you provided. Here's how to get it into ClipboardFusion:

Download the file attached to this email
Open the ClipboardFusion Settings window
On the "Macros" tab, click the "Import" button
Select the file you downloaded in the first step
In the window that pops up, you can review the code and assign the Macro a HotKey
Click OK to close the Macro Edit window, then OK again to save and apply your changes

Thanks!

Thank you Thomas, this macro worked like a charm. I am sorry I keep asking you guys for help with these small macros, but you guys have the best support ever.

Thanks,

Hello,

I just wanted to say thank you to both the OP and the dev who made this macro. I was getting so tired of manually inserting and removing the colon when going between the switch CLI and the Windows DHCP snap-in.

I also loved the ease with which I could comment out the cases of the hyphen and periods which weren't necessary in my scenario.

Thanks a million!

P.S. Also a shoutout to the ClipboardFusion devs that let me run this function over an RDP session!
