We can find mac address (physical address) of a computer using the command ‘getmac‘. This can be used to get mac address for remote computers also. Below are few examples on how to use this command. It works on XP, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2003 and Server 2008 operating systems.

Get mac addresses from CMD

If you're on Mac OS X, there's pbcopy. E.g cat example.txt pbcopy If you're in Linux terminal mode (no X) then look into gpm or screen which has a clipboard. Try the screen command readreg. Under Windows 10+ or cygwin, use /dev/clipboard or clip. Oct 24, 2008 You can copy command line output to X Windows clipboard directly using xclip command.
