Convert Hex to Registry String GUID

Question

_{Saturday, October 1, 2016 12:10 PM}

I've found a number of posts converting a GUID string to Hex but not the other way round. I'm looking to convert:

3baa84f2a56fb246adf5e3b9ddfd03b9

to

f284aa3b-6fa5-46b2-adf5-e3b9ddfd03b9

Found out that it's just a matter of re-ordering:

$oct = "3baa84f2a56fb246adf5e3b9ddfd03b9"

$oct1 = $oct.substring(0,2)
$oct2 = $oct.substring(2,2)
$oct3 = $oct.substring(4,2)
$oct4 = $oct.substring(6,2)
$oct5 = $oct.substring(8,2)
$oct6 = $oct.substring(10,2)
$oct7 = $oct.substring(12,2)
$oct8 = $oct.substring(14,2)
$oct9 = $oct.substring(16,4)
$oct10 = $oct.substring(20,12)

$strOut = "$oct4" + "$oct3" + "$oct2" + "$oct1" + "-" + "$oct6" + "$oct5" + "-" + "$oct8" + "$oct7" + "-" + "$oct9" + "-" + "$oct10"
