Subject: mac addr determination


can someone run this on windows and let me know if it works?

     def mac_address
       return @mac_address if defined? @mac_address
       re = %r/[^:\-](?:[0-9A-Za-z][0-9A-Za-z][:\-]){5}[0-9A-Za-z] 
[0-9A-Za-z][^:\-]/o
       lines =
         begin
           IO.popen('ifconfig'){|fd| fd.readlines}
         rescue
           IO.popen('ipconfig /all'){|fd| fd.readlines}
         end
       candidates = lines.select{|line| line =~ re}
       @mac_address = candidates.first[re].strip
     end


thanks!
