J base library has a module for generating GUIDs. For details and different output formats see JSvnBase:packages/misc/guid.ijs
guidsr , load'guid' CC2A8425-E972-764B-8E58-F2A5CF6FE528 guidss {22EC2F5C-C4AD-C44E-A9C8-BD09361E56A3}
Here we will show how to make stand-alone GUID generators for use directly from the Start menu or command line.
Windows
We will add a new icon shortcut for the J Start menu. Then selecting the icon will show the GUID in a small dialog and copy it to the clipboard.
Procedure
- right-click Start, choose Explore
- open ... All Users\Start Menu\Programs\J
- select J 601 and duplicate it: CTRL+C CTRL+V F2, type J GUID, ENTER
- copy the line below (select it, CTRL+C)
-jijx -js "exit wdinfo 'J GUID';(([wd)'clipcopy *'&,) guidsr,load'guid'"`
- open Properties (ALT+ENTER)
- paste at the end of Target (END SPACE CTRL+V)
- close Properties (ENTER)
Done. Close the Explorer window. To verify select Start > Programs > J > J GUID.
Command Line
Use directly, alias or create a command script.
c:\j601> jconsole -js "exit echo guidsr,load'guid'"
For example,
c:\j601> jconsole -js "exit echo guidsr,load'guid'" E364D1B3-7927-FA40-97CB-69A65F7A30DB
