Bulk MAC Address Extraction
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I have a large batch of plain-text files and need every dash-separated MAC address (00-1A-2B-3C-4D-5E format) pulled out quickly and accurately. The goal is a repeatable solution—ideally a small script or command-line utility—that can scan through an entire folder, grab each unique MAC, and export the results to a clean, de-duplicated list (CSV or TXT is fine).
To be accepted, your solution must:
• Read any number of plain-text files placed in a directory.
• Detect every MAC in the dash-separated pattern, regardless of line position.
• Return an output file containing one MAC per line, with duplicates removed.
Please let me know which language or tool you intend to use and how soon you can deliver a first working version.
