Filter on UUID

Gi Ma

Hi!

I have an array of keys, some of which are UUID's, others some other type (ex.: md5).

What would be the best method to filter out / retain only the UUID's in that array?

Thank you

It's weird…for some reason, my comment got erased. Here we go again !

Did you try the UUID regexp ?

/^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}$/

Results

Note : You MUST store your regexp in a variable. including the regexp directly in the condition's input doesn't seem to work.

Hope it helps!

I've found a temporary workaround (not solution):

Array, find all elements, length=36

However, this is not the cleanest/best way to do it.

Any better ideas?

Did you try using the UUID regexp pattern ?

/^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}$/

Result

my_array :

Note : You MUST store your regexp expression in a variable. Using directly in the condition won't work.

Hope it helps!
