Mac Address
A Mac Address utility that can validate mac address formats and convert strings to valid macs.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'mac_address'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install mac_address
Usage
MacAddress.new("aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff")
# => #<MacAddress:0x007fe783981788 @mac_str="aabbccddeeff">
MacAddress.new("aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff").to_s # => 'aabbccddee'
MacAddress.new("invalid mac") # => Raises ArgumentError
MacAddress.new("aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff").to_i # => 187723572702975The MacAddress class will also remove any cruft or extraneous content. If there's a mac to be found, MacAddress will find it:
MacAddress.new("aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff:qqqqq")
# => #<MacAddress:0x007fe783981788 @mac_str="aabbccddeeff">
MacAddress.new("&*^*&(aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff:")
# => #<MacAddress:0x007fe783981788 @mac_str="aabbccddeeff">String Extending
