id15to18

Converts a 15-character Salesforce Id into its 18-character, case-safe equivalent. Useful whenever you have an Id in the shorter, case-sensitive format and need the longer one instead — for a comparison, a storage key, or anywhere case-sensitivity would cause problems.

How to call this method

global static String id15to18(String inID)

Parameters

Return value

Returns a String — the 18-character Id.

• If inID is already 18 characters, it's returned unchanged — safe to call on an Id regardless of which format you already have.

• If inID is any length other than 15 or 18, this returns an empty string rather than throwing an error — worth checking for if you're not certain the input is a valid Id.

Example

String fullId = cg.SDriveTools.id15to18('500XX000001abcA');
