generate random 32 character string (GUID)
« on: May 31, 2012, 01:50:30 PM »
this action will generate unique identifiers. In plain english terms, it'll randomly (well not entirely) create a 32 characters long string. This string is so long, that the probability of getting the same string twice , ever, is so slim, that everyone tends to ignore it... I mean it's really virtually not there.
Best,
Sven

Hi,

 Thanks for putting that up!

re guid: might be the funniest thread about guid repeatability: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1705008/simple-proof-that-guid-is-not-unique but you'll need to work at it if you are not a programmer ( basically making absurd code)


bye,

 Jean
