toguid

Validates and normalizes a string as a GUID.

Returns null if invalid.

Syntax

toguid(value)

Parameters

Prop

Type

Given a dynamic field

This parameter is string-only. In permissive mode — the default — almost every field arrives as a dynamic, so passing one works because Berserk injects asstring: extract-or-null, the value when it really is a string and null otherwise, so the call yields null (a predicate yields false). A property bag or array is therefore not matched, and tostring() is never applied implicitly — use it explicitly to match a bag's JSON text, keys included. Strict mode rejects the dynamic instead of coercing it. See String coercion and the asXXX family.

Returns: string

Examples

Example 1

print toguid("74be27de-1e4e-49d9-b579-fe0b331d3642")
print_0 (string)
74be27de-1e4e-49d9-b579-fe0b331d3642

Example 2

print toguid("not-a-guid")
print_0 (string)
