Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 25 Jan 2006

Q:
Hi, I'm going to be embedding GUIDs in a delimited string and I was trying to find out what range of characters may be present in a GUID. I'm looking for choices of delimiters that I could use in my delimited string that would be guaranteed not to be in the GUID. Also, are GUIDs in eDirectory always the same length?

A:
GUIDs are typically 128-bit numbers and are generally expressed in hex format. Check the following article on a detailed description of the GUID: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guid
