VBA Read the MAC address of a computer ? (Mac OSX Excel 2011)

Hi,

I have a spreadsheet which I'm incorporating MAC checking as a security feature to prevent the spreadsheet being used on different computers.

I found some code online which works fine on Windows.

I'm new to Mac OSX, but the code which works in a terminal window to display the MAC address is;
----
networksetup -listallhardwareports | egrep -A 2 "(AirPort|Wi-Fi)" | grep Ethernet
----

I'm just not sure how to covert the first section of code so that it works on a Mac.
Hopefully this can be done without having to call a separate script file.

Any tips, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

the first one will never work on a mac because wmi is the Windows Management Interface. but you can use the shell script you have using
