UUID Regex Mismatch: Correct Pattern and Examples Provided

Answered using ChatGPT 4o by ChatGPT4o

Question:

Value uuid does not match the regex ^[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)*$ give me an example of uuid mathing

Answer:

It looks like you're trying to match a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) against a regex pattern that is designed for version numbers or numeric sequences, not UUIDs. The regex pattern ^[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)*$ matches strings like "1", "1.0", "1.0.0", etc.

UUIDs, on the other hand, have a specific format that looks like this: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Mxxx-Nxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx, where x is a hexadecimal digit, M indicates the UUID version, and N indicates the UUID variant.

Here is an example of a UUID: 123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000.

If you want a regex pattern to match a UUID, you can use the following pattern:

^[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[1-5][0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[89abAB][0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}$

This pattern ensures that the string is a valid UUID. Here are a few examples of valid UUIDs:

  1. 123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000
  2. 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
  3. f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479

If you need to match a UUID, make sure to use the correct regex pattern for UUIDs, not the one for
