How do you convert a MAC address (in an array) to string in C?
You could do this:
char macStr[18];
int array[6] = {0x00, 0x0d, 0x3f, 0xcd, 0x02, 0x5f};
snprintf(macStr, sizeof(macStr), "%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x",
array[0], array[1], array[2], array[3], array[4], array[5]);
If you want an uppercase string, use uppercase 'X':
snprintf(macStr, sizeof(macStr), "%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X",
array[0], array[1], array[2], array[3], array[4], array[5]);
whithout using snprintf, but that's just for fun....
#define MAC_LEN 6
static const char _mac[MAC_LEN] = { 0xBC, 0xDD, 0xC2, 0xF0, 0x2E, 0x06 };
int main(void){
char mac[MAC_LEN*2 + 1] = {0}; // added null char
int j = 0;
for( int i = 0; i < sizeof(_mac) ; i++ )
{
j = i * 2;
mac[j] = (((_mac[i] & 0xF0)>>4)&0xF) ;
mac[j] += (mac[j] <= 9) ? '0' : ('A' - 10);
j++;
mac[j] = (_mac[i] & 0x0F);
mac[j] += (mac[j] <= 9) ? '0' : ('A' -10);
}
printf("Hello World!, my mac address : %s\n", mac);
fflush(stdout);
return 0;
}
unsigned char array[6] = {0x00, 0x0d, 0x3f, 0xcd, 0x02, 0x5f};//or BYTE
char str[19];
sprintf(str, "%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x",array[0],
array[1], array[2], array[3], array[4],array[5]);
