uh... why would you want to just get the end part of the string?  The whole
idea is that each UUID is totally unique, for which you'll need the whole
thing.  ok, if you set a few of these in succession, you'll notice the
first parts all look the same, but you do really need the whole thing.

if you just want to generate some other kind of random string, there are
other ways of doing it.

I want to create a Unique Identifier and so I am using this code

<CFPARAM NAME="Cookie.CartID" DEFAULT="#CreateUUID()#">

The problem is this creates a string which is huge like ..

A5C2A55B-5004-4AF5-83CB90FECA60673E

Is there a way of setting what CreateUUID creates or do I need to use
ListGetAt to get say just the end part of the string. WIll this have any
consequences on the UUID?

Regards - Paul
