Troubles with the new UUID function

[Simon]

HI,
Using LC 6.1 and the example given in the dictionary:

Code: Select all

put uuid(random) into tRandomUUID

Throws this error in the messagebox:

Script compile error:
Error description: Function: missing '('

Win7 machine.

Tried md5 still an error.

Aside from that what I see from "put uuid()" is a randomly generated... well uuid, each time it is run. This then says that the function cannot be used in a registration tool unless it is recorded. Is that true? Or is there a way to use it like Apples uuid unique to each unit?

Thanks,
Simon

Hi Simon,

try

Code: Select all

put uuid("random")

Kind regards
Bernd

Thanks Bernd, that works.
Will try to figure out what namespace_id means now.

Oh, looks like an error in the dictionary!
And I don't have the slightest idea about namespace_id, too

"combine" in the dictionary has "teh"
Good to know they are human.
