Here is a common problem
There are 3 mac address formats
linux 90:E2:BA:10:1A:BE
microsoft 90-E2-BA-10-1A-BE
cisco 90E2.BA10.1ABE
So, I tried making a script to output any number of copied MACs in any format, to any format that you want
Here is a preliminary attempt
To Cisco format
// Get the current clipboard text assuming it's a MAC address
var macAddress = clip.Text;
// Remove any non-alphanumeric characters (like colons, hyphens, etc.)
var cleanMac = macAddress.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/g, '');
// Check if the cleaned MAC address has the expected length of 12 characters
if(cleanMac.length == 12) {
// Insert a period every 4 characters
var ciscoFormatMac = cleanMac.substring(0, 4) + '.' + cleanMac.substring(4, 8) + '.' + cleanMac.substring(8, 12);
// Set the modified MAC address back to the clipboard
clip.SetText(ciscoFormatMac);
} else {
// If the MAC address is not of the expected length, log an error or handle it appropriately
clip.SetText("Error: MAC address format incorrect");
}
return false; // Prevent the original text from being pasted
To microsoft format
// Get the current clipboard text assuming it's a MAC address
var macAddress = clip.Text;
// Remove any non-alphanumeric characters (like colons, periods, etc.)
var cleanMac = macAddress.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/g, '');
// Check if the cleaned MAC address has the expected length of 12 characters
if (cleanMac.length == 12) {
// Insert a hyphen every 2 characters
var microsoftFormatMac = cleanMac.replace(/(.{2})/g, '$1-').slice(0, -1);
// Set the modified MAC address back to the clipboard
clip.SetText(microsoftFormatMac);
} else {
// If the MAC address is not of the expected length, log an error or handle it appropriately
clip.SetText("Error: MAC address format incorrect");
}
return false; // Prevent the original text from being pasted
To linux format
// Get the current clipboard text assuming it's a MAC address
var macAddress = clip.Text;
// Remove any non-alphanumeric characters (like hyphens, periods, etc.)
var cleanMac = macAddress.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/g, '');
// Check if the cleaned MAC address has the expected length of 12 characters
if (cleanMac.length == 12) {
// Insert a colon every 2 characters and convert to lowercase
var linuxFormatMac = cleanMac.replace(/(.{2})/g, '$1:').slice(0, -1).toLowerCase();
// Set the modified MAC address back to the clipboard
clip.SetText(linuxFormatMac);
} else {
// If the MAC address is not of the expected length, log an error or handle it appropriately
clip.SetText("Error: MAC address format incorrect");
}
return false; // Prevent the original text from being pasted
Note these don't currently work due to syntax error.
Also they would only convert clips with one mac address each, not whole lists
You will need the latest build, fixed an issue with ReplaceRegex, https://github.com/sabrogden/Ditto/releases/tag/nightly
Cisco
// Remove any non-alphanumeric characters (like colons, hyphens, etc.)
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("[^a-zA-Z0-9]", "");
// Insert a hyphen every 2 characters
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("(.{4})", "$1.");
var text = clip.GetAsciiString();
if(text.size == 15)
{
//remove the - at the end of the string
var text = clip.GetAsciiString();
var clean = text.substr(0, 14);
// Set the modified MAC address back to the clipboard
clip.SetAsciiString(clean);
}
else
{
// If the MAC address is not of the expected length, log an error or handle it appropriately
clip.SetAsciiString("Error: MAC address format incorrect");
}
return false;
Microsoft
// Remove any non-alphanumeric characters (like colons, hyphens, etc.)
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("[^a-zA-Z0-9]", "");
// Insert a hyphen every 2 characters
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("(.{2})", "$1-");
var text = clip.GetAsciiString();
if(text.size == 18)
{
//remove the - at the end of the string
var text = clip.GetAsciiString();
var clean = text.substr(0, 17);
// Set the modified MAC address back to the clipboard
clip.SetAsciiString(clean);
}
else
{
// If the MAC address is not of the expected length, log an error or handle it appropriately
clip.SetAsciiString("Error: MAC address format incorrect");
}
return false;
Linux
// Remove any non-alphanumeric characters (like colons, hyphens, etc.)
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("[^a-zA-Z0-9]", "");
// Insert a hyphen every 2 characters
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("(.{2})", "$1:");
var text = clip.GetAsciiString();
if(text.size == 18)
{
//remove the - at the end of the string
var text = clip.GetAsciiString();
var clean = text.substr(0, 17);
// Set the modified MAC address back to the clipboard
clip.SetAsciiString(clean);
}
else
{
// If the MAC address is not of the expected length, log an error or handle it appropriately
clip.SetAsciiString("Error: MAC address format incorrect");
}
return false;
Cool
Just gave this a try
to cisco works, however to linux & ms does not
here is test data
from cisco 90E2.BA10.1ABE to cisco 90E2.BA10.1ABE to linux 90E2.BA10.1ABE to ms 90E2.BA10.1ABE
from ms 90-E2-BA-10-1A-BE to cisco 90E2.BA10.1ABE to linux 90-E2-BA-10-1A-BE to ms 90-E2-BA-10-1A-BE
from linux 90:E2:BA:10:1A:BE to cisco 90E2.BA10.1ABE to linux 90:E2:BA:10:1A:BE to ms 90:E2:BA:10:1A:BE
Perhaps I pasted it wrong ?
Running the nightly you suggested
Microsoft and Linux scripts are not updated. I updated my post to format things better. Paste the mac text in the sample and click run to verify each in the script editor.
Hello,
I have just tried the current on paste scripts
They work in all cases
from cisco 90E2.BA10.1ABE to cisco 90E2.BA10.1ABE to linux 90:E2:BA:10:1A:BE to ms 90-E2-BA-10-1A-BE
from ms 90-E2-BA-10-1A-BE to cisco 90E2.BA10.1ABE to linux 90:E2:BA:10:1A:BE to ms 90-E2-BA-10-1A-BE
from linux 90:E2:BA:10:1A:BE to cisco 90E2.BA10.1ABE to linux 90:E2:BA:10:1A:BE to ms 90-E2-BA-10-1A-BE
Chatgpt noticed that
var text = clip.GetAsciiString();
gets called twice and that might be unnecessary
I tested and its right
Here is updated version, confirmed to also work for single line pastes
Cisco
// Remove any non-alphanumeric characters (like colons, hyphens, etc.)
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("[^a-zA-Z0-9]", "");
// Insert a hyphen every 2 characters
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("(.{4})", "$1.");
var text = clip.GetAsciiString();
if(text.size == 15)
{
//remove the - at the end of the string
var clean = text.substr(0, 14);
// Set the modified MAC address back to the clipboard
clip.SetAsciiString(clean);
}
else
{
// If the MAC address is not of the expected length, log an error or handle it appropriately
clip.SetAsciiString("Error: MAC address format incorrect");
}
return false;
Microsoft
// Remove any non-alphanumeric characters (like colons, hyphens, etc.)
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("[^a-zA-Z0-9]", "");
// Insert a hyphen every 2 characters
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("(.{2})", "$1-");
var text = clip.GetAsciiString();
if(text.size == 18)
{
//remove the - at the end of the string
var clean = text.substr(0, 17);
// Set the modified MAC address back to the clipboard
clip.SetAsciiString(clean);
}
else
{
// If the MAC address is not of the expected length, log an error or handle it appropriately
clip.SetAsciiString("Error: MAC address format incorrect");
}
return false;
Linux
// Remove any non-alphanumeric characters (like colons, hyphens, etc.)
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("[^a-zA-Z0-9]", "");
// Insert a hyphen every 2 characters
clip.AsciiTextReplaceRegex("(.{2})", "$1:");
var text = clip.GetAsciiString();
if(text.size == 18)
{
//remove the - at the end of the string
var clean = text.substr(0, 17);
// Set the modified MAC address back to the clipboard
clip.SetAsciiString(clean);
}
else
{
// If the MAC address is not of the expected length, log an error or handle it appropriately
clip.SetAsciiString("Error: MAC address format incorrect");
}
return false;
Now I have three questions
How can I give these script in a way that they can add them easily, like, a two click operation to add all 3 ?
And, how to make these scripts multi-line
and, how to put these 3 scripts into a sub-context menu in the special paste menu as it is already getting long and presumably there are many other good paste scripts to create !
Example
Also also, there should be a way to re-order On Paste Script, without having to delete and re-type them
Here is what I mean https://github.com/sabrogden/Ditto/assets/10621885/25a32703-125e-4252-8993-31f671fb34c7
(Also I note, you can't use Ditto, while inside Ditto settings ! It is only because the window is unclickable due to having child windows, I think that is just a window hWnd flag ?)
Ok, I got it, multiline and single line capable version all in one
