How to validate UUID value in Server script

[Supriya25]

Hi All,

Please help me how to validate UUID format in Server side script
below script always returning "Not Valid" .

var uuidValue= gs.generateGUID();
uuidValue=uuidValue.replace(/^[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}$/ "$1-$2-$3-$4-$5");

var uuidRegex = /^[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}$/;  
    if (uuidRegex.test(uuidValue)) {
       gs.info('Valid');
    } else {
       gs.info('Not Valid');
    }

why you want to validate?

your task is to simply convert sysId to UUID which is already working fine with the script I shared and is in the standard format

UUID is having this format which is universally accepted UUID also has 32-characters (8-4-4-4-12=32)

your code giving Error , kindly check it once

Javascript compiler exception: missing ) after argument list (null.null.script; line 15) in:
var sysId = gs.generateGUID();

var uuidValue = convertSysIdToUUID(sysId);
gs.info('UUID Format value->' + uuidValue);

function convertSysIdToUUID(sysId) {
    if (sysId.length !== 32) {
        gs.info('Invalid sys_id length');
        return null;
    }
    var uuid = sysId.substring(0,  + '-' +
        sysId.substring(8, 12) + '-' +
        sysId.substring(12, 16) + '-' +
        sysId.substring(16, 20) + '-' +
        sysId.substring(20);
    return uuid;
}

try this

var sysId = '8bafe2e4db072150966c676ed396194c'; // Replace with your sys_id

function convertSysIdToUUID(sysId) {
    if (sysId.length !== 32) {
        gs.info('Invalid sys_id length');
        return null;
    }
    return sysId.replace(/^(.{8})(.{4})(.{4})(.{4})(.{12})$/, '$1-$2-$3-$4-$5');
}

var uuidValue = convertSysIdToUUID(sysId);
gs.info('UUID: ' + uuidValue);

Output:

Thanks you , I have added additional validation part also , please check it once and share your inputs please.

var sysId = gs.generateGUID();

function convertSysIdToUUID(sysId) {
    if (sysId.length !== 32) {
        gs.info('Invalid sys_id length');
        return null;
    }
    return sysId.replace(/^(.{8})(.{4})(.{4})(.{4})(.{12})$/, '$1-$2-$3-$4-$5');
}

var uuidValue = convertSysIdToUUID(sysId);
gs.info('UUID: ' + uuidValue);

gs.info('UUID: ' + isUUID(uuidValue));
function isUUID ( uuid ) {
    var s = "" + uuid;

    s = s.match('^[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}$');
    if (s === null) {
      return false;
    }
    return true;
}
