Lucee and UUID - Change segment format?

[David Eurenius]

Hi guys,

According to the documentation Lucee creates UUID's with createUUID() according to the 4 segment standard. (8-4-4-16)

Example: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Is there any way to change this to five segments (8-4-4-4-12) ?

Example: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier it seems this is inherited from ACF (Adobe ColdFusion).

you can use the CreateGUID() function instead, or do some simple string modification to "move" the hyphens.
