Comment on Salesforce IDs and the 15-18 digit problem by Brian Green

Lee, thanks for the comment – though the coding in this case (Google Apps Script – see here) was done by bluep@quantentunnel.de

For those without access to Salesforce help, the logic is:

To convert a 15 char case-sensitive id to an 18 char case-safe id follow these steps.

1. Divide the 15 char into 3 chunks of 5 chars each
2. For each character give that position a value of 1 if uppercase, 0 otherwise (lowercase or number)
3. Combine the bits from each chunk into a 5 bit integer where the rightmost bit is the most significant bit. This will yield a number between 0 and 31 for each chunk
4. Construct an array that contains the sequence of capital letters A-Z and 0-5
5. Use the integer from each chunk to choose a character from the array
6. Append the resulting 3 characters, in chunk order, to the end of the 15 char id

Thanks for the post Brian. When I first started coding Apex for SFDC this was a major problem, in the end I wrote my own code to get around this 15-18 digit issue but this spreadsheet would have been a massive help.
