$MD5
Returns a cryptographic 128-bit hash value.
Syntax
$md5(expression)
Parameters
| expression | an expression that evaluates to a string |
Return Value
The value returned by $MD5 is a hexadecimal 32-characters long string representing the cryptographic hash value of the expression used as argument.
Example
out $md5(1)
45954632C04A953592D33FDC5F59A64C
out $md5(“1”)
C4CA4238A0B923820DCC509A6F75849B
The returned values are different because the $md5(1) first converts the number 1 to a character string and then applies the MD5 algorithm to it.
