FAQ.How to validate a GUID?

Answer: You can use this function below which uses a regular expression to verify that the string is a valid UUID/GUID:
Example 
Function IsGUID(guid as string) As Boolean
  dim r as new RegEx
  
  r.SearchPattern = "^(\{{0,1}([0-9a-fA-F]){8}-([0-9a-fA-F]){4}-([0-9a-fA-F]){4}-([0-9a-fA-F]){4}-([0-9a-fA-F]){12}\}{0,1})$"
  
  Return r.Search(guid)<>nil
End Function

Simply parsing the GUID with CFUUIDMBS does not give the same result as CFUUIDMBS will also take a string like "DDDD".
