Hi Windows users,
is the command uuidgen usually available under windows? I am
considering
to make this the default for ID generation because it works on the Mac
and under GNU/Linux. But I would like to have a default that works on
all systems....
Thanks.

Hmm, I'm not sure what you're asking, but "M-x uuidgen" fails as does
"uuidgen" at the windows command prompt. I'm running XP with Org 6.12a.
How should this command be executed?

No, it's not. It's available in Cygwin, though (not that I would
require that of Windows users).
Could that command's functionality be replicated in Emacs Lisp?

Actually, it does come with some of the SDKs for .NET, I just
discovered. But still, one can't assume its existence on a Windows
machine.

Hi Carsten,
it is the sad truth: windows has nothing realy - just enough to install
software packages on top of it. No tools at all.
I use WindowsXP in virtulaBox. It's quite a naked install and has no
`uuidgen[.exe|.bat]'.
Regards,
Sebastian

You could see if uuidgen is available, and if not, fallback to an online uuid generator:
http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen
Sending a post request to that URL shouldn't be too hard. And you can extract the UUID from the first <h3> element on the page.
I would separate the code responsible for extraction for retrieval, that way if the page format, url, or post vars change, it will be easy to update.

There is a windows API call to generate GUID's, which are unique and I
assume are the same as uuids. I used to know what this was, but I have
forgotten now:) I don't know if emacs lisp can call the windows API, but
somewhere I should have a small command line app that enerates GUIDs and
outputs them to stdout.
Ian.

I think Carsten is looking for something that ships on all Windows
machines, as opposed to requiring users to install a separate tool.

Thanks for all replies, I will be using uuidgen only on systems which
have it and fall back to a different implementation in Lisp if not.
