Expression
^((?-i:0x)?[A-Fa-f0-9]{32}| [A-Fa-f0-9]{8}-[A-Fa-f0-9]{4}-[A-Fa-f0-9]{4}-[A-Fa-f0-9]{4}-[A-Fa-f0-9]{12}| \{[A-Fa-f0-9]{8}-[A-Fa-f0-9]{4}-[A-Fa-f0-9]{4}-[A-Fa-f0-9]{4}-[A-Fa-f0-9]{12}\})$
Description
Validates a GUID/UUID, without capture, to the following patterns: [{hhhhhhhh-hhhh-hhhh-hhhh-hhhhhhhhhhhh}], [hhhhhhhh-hhhh-hhhh-hhhh-hhhhhhhhhhhh],[hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh],[0xhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh], where 'h' is a valid hex character. This last pattern is a binary format commonly used with SQL Server 2000. It allows you to use binary(n) and varbinary(n) parameters that convert well to unique identifier. Please note that this is not case sensitive EXCEPT the 'x' in the binary pattern. It must be lower case.

^[0-9a-f]{8}(-[0-9a-f]{4}){3}-[0-9a-f]{12}$ it's more simple but it only works for UUID.

Comment:
The [A-Fa-f0-9] character group simplifies to [0-9a-f] if you add the "case insensitive" flag - and will then parse 33% faster.
