Hello Booth,

If you use Bob Cozzi's earlier example using sprintf() but fix it according
to my later post you will get what you want.

If your input string is '255:255:255' (i.e., a character value) you must
extract the digits into integer data types.  Easy enough with %scan since
you have colon delimiters.  Pump the three integers into sprintf() via Bob's
example and the result is a null-terminated string containing 'ff:ff:ff'.
