; NormalizeUuid Example
; ---------------------
; Requires Extended mode.

; Object ids arrive in mixed styles from old save files and other
; tools. NormalizeUuid converts every accepted form to canonical
; lowercase dashed (D) text, so ids compare as plain strings.
n_form$="00112233445566778899AABBCCDDEEFF"
braced$="{00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF}"

Print "N form uppercase:  "+n_form
Print "  normalized ->    "+NormalizeUuid(n_form)
Print ""
Print "Braced uppercase:  "+braced
Print "  normalized ->    "+NormalizeUuid(braced)
Print ""

; Both normalize to the same string, so they can be compared
Print "Same id after normalizing: "+(NormalizeUuid(n_form)=NormalizeUuid(braced))
Print ""

; Invalid text normalizes to an empty string
Print "NormalizeUuid('not-a-uuid') = '"+NormalizeUuid("not-a-uuid")+"' (empty = invalid)"

Print ""
Print "Press any key to close the example"
