Here is the Delphi Way

Function GUID2OctetString(GUIDstr:string):string;

Function reversestring(s:string):string;
var
l:integer;
tmpstr:string;
begin
while length(s)>2 do
begin
tmpstr:=tmpstr+copy(s,length(s)-1, length(s));
s:=copy(s,1,length(s)-2);
end;
result:=tmpstr +s;
end;

var
parcaA,ParcaB,ParcaC, Gerisi:string;
OctetStr,tmp:string;
i:integer;
begin
GUIDstr:=StringReplace(GUIDstr,’{‘,”,[rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]);
GUIDstr:=StringReplace(GUIDstr,’}',”,[rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]);

ParcaA:=copy(GUIDstr,1,pos(‘-’,GUIDstr)-1);
GUIDstr:=copy(GUIDstr,pos(‘-’,GUIDstr)+1, length(GUIDstr));

ParcaB:=copy(GUIDstr,1,pos(‘-’,GUIDstr)-1);
GUIDstr:=copy(GUIDstr,pos(‘-’,GUIDstr)+1, length(GUIDstr));

ParcaC:=copy(GUIDstr,1,pos(‘-’,GUIDstr)-1);
GUIDstr:=copy(GUIDstr,pos(‘-’,GUIDstr)+1, length(GUIDstr));

Gerisi:=StringReplace(GUIDstr,’-',”,[rfReplaceAll, rfIgnoreCase]);
Octetstr:= reversestring(ParcaA)+reversestring(ParcaB)+reversestring(ParcaC)+Gerisi;
// 1,3,5 add back slashes
while length(octetstr)>2 do
begin
tmp:=tmp+ ‘\’+ copy(octetstr,1,2);
octetstr:=copy(octetstr,3,length(octetstr))
end;
result:=tmp+’\'+octetstr;
end;

Any chance of seeing a line with the script being use? I’m guessing it would be something like $p=password.ps1 8 is that right?
