I tried sed but it didn't work.Why? it seem not to be interpreted I have : arp -s 192.40.54.42 `echo 00:80:9f:2e:3f:5e | sed -e s/:/-/g` Could i do it in pure C?Thanks for your precious help. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
