Hmmm. Yes. I am using this to generate an OrderID which I then ouput as the
orderNO. Being lazy I guess. I'll make a new order no based on the date &
time. Just would have been easier to use the last part of the UUID provided
it was always different. As you say though its really unique in its
wholeness ....
Ok i'll use that for the ID and generate a seperate orderNo.

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.

meaningful uuid
22/07/2004 11:27
Please respond to
dev
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?
